" I know you all appreciate getting a new toy and book, but the best gifts you can receive are your parents and a good education." The live family style show had something for everyone, including performances by the King Charles Unicycle Troupe; renowned magician Lamont Haskins; The Nutcracker, Brooklyn style, as performed by Brooklyn Music School; performances by David Sharps juggler extraordinaire and award-winning acrobat; nationally acclaimed circus performers Rob & Christina; and the Sesame Flyers International steel-pan drummers; Merry Merry Mayhem Company with Mikeah, Cat in the Hat, Grinch & Ms. Tree. Following the hour-plus performance, every child in attendance
selected one new book and one new toy provided by the event’s dozens of sponsors. The kids had plenty of gifts to choose from, including classic board games like Monopoly and Scrabble, a wide range of sporting equipment, and of course the hottest new toys, such as Bratz, Neo Pets, Rescue Heroes, Swan Lake Barbie, and Bob the Builder. Fifty-six New York City Housing Authority tenant presidents chose children from there complexes to attend the show. Dozens of other social-service organizations also sent children. Best of Brooklyn is a not-for-profit charity with the mission to make life better for all Brooklynites by supporting culture, social services, health and education initiatives, tourism and most important our youth.
