and Donna Pond, Fia and Moshe Hatsav, Henrietta Hudson, Doug and Christina Kepple, Randi and Jeff Levine, Elizabeth Peyton, Barry F. Schwartz and Rus-sell and Alice Treyz,. WOW! That is generosity, that is community spirit, that is leadership. Special thanks to Stacey Miller, who together with her daughter Bella coordinated the Juried Crafts & Fine Art Fair. And more special thanks to Terri Howell, who does everything, including soliciting this year’s wonderful raffle prizes. (And we urge all BBC-ers to please use the enclosed list of contributors as a guide when patronizing local restaurants.) And thanks to certified Fire Marshal and friend of the BBC, John Herouvis, who kept an eagle eye out for all. A special shout out to Nora Killoran, who not only helped so-licit food truck vendors (including the wonderful non-profit Snowday), but also coordinated The Green Team from Grow NYC. They set up recyclable bins throughout the fair. And thanks to these neighbors too, for all they did, on Fair day to make this the best Fair ever (hopefully we haven’t forgotten any one and apologies in advance if we have): Tom Burrows, Mary Kay Doris, Greg and Deirdre Einhorn, Laura Fredericks, Doug Kepple, Patsy Powers, Stan Simbonis, Rhea Sohne, Lee Tay-lor and Alice Treyz and thanks to the wonderful Joy Hornung, who organized our fabulous entertainment, and to neighborhood legend Cheryl Brock, who MC’d along with Brian Sledge. And thanks to Perry van der Meer, who along with BBCer Josh Gosfield, who de-signed this year’s BBC Ye Olde Village Fair poster, dis-tributed the posters, publicizing the Fair so well. Clear-ly, it takes a village—a Greenwich Village—to make Ye Olde Village Fair the wonderful event that it is.

YE OLDE VILLAGE FAIR —The 40th Annual Ye Olde Village Fair was its usual smashing success! This year, under spectacular skies and pleasant breezes, Villag-ers and visitors alike crowded the Outdoor Café, lis-tened to live music, including old nabe favs such as The Grove Street Stompers, Blue Wolf Blues Band and Patrick Poladian Jazz Quartet and enjoying, for the first time, chamber music ensemble Dacoda from the Greenwich House Music School. The International Food Court, for the first time, featured food trucks. Our Juried Crafts & Fine Art Fair featured original creations of wonderful artists and artisans. As always, all monies raised by the BBC through the Fair go right back to our community— to care for our nearly 100 trees and treepits, and to help fund many worthy programs of local organizations. The BBC extends heartfelt thanks to Commerce Bar and Restaurant, New York University, Sotheby’s International Realty, Matt Umanov Guitars and Su-shi Nakazawa, 2014 Ye Olde Village Fair underwriters, who helped subsidize our entertainment, as well as tables and chairs, publicity, cleanup, and raffles. Many thanks to these generous BBC neighbors and business-es. And extra special thanks to these generous individ-uals and institutions, who together lent their financial support to the Fair to the tune of $8275: Barrow Grove Associates, Karen and Ron Butler, Dan Bergman

Twin Peaks was originally a framed Federal house with pitched roof erected circa 1830. In 1925 Clifford Reed Dai-ley remodeled the structure into a pseudo-Medieval studio building, inspired by houses in Nuremberg, Germany. It was funded by wealthy patron of the arts, Otto Kahn who built Oheka Castle on Long Island and what is today the Covent of the Savred Heart on East 91st Street
