Where: Meadow beside the Picnic House in Prospect Park (Enter at PPW and 3rd Street)
What: It’s the first Saturday of the month, which can only mean one thing…Coffee Bark with FIDO. There will be treats for dogs (and their owners), as well as information on off-leash activities.
How much: Free.

History In Your Hands: Hearth Cooking
When: Saturdays & Sundays in September, 2-4pm
Where: Lefferts Historic House, Prospect Park

How much: $3 suggested donation.

Morning Bird Walk
When: Sunday, September 7, 8am
Where: Audubon Center, Prospect Park

Fundraiser: Get Your Pic Taken In A DeLorean Time Machine
When: Sunday, September 7, 12-9am
Where: Leathernecks Tattoo, 667a 5th Avenue
