The Active Consumer

By Dara Mormile

Wouldn't it be great to travel back in time? You could see the way the community was over one hundred years ago - how urban development has changed since the days of the Dutch! Well, when you visit the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum , it's always a trip back in time - and there's a special event on April 22, (that's a Saturday) from 2 - 4 p.m., that will take you back in time. The event is entitled, "Revisiting A Lost World: Brooklyn's Dutch Farms In Early 20 Century Postcards." The FREE reception is a great and rare opportunity to see various postcards from private collections of the lost Kings County Dutch farms. The images will take you back - and the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum will take you by surprise because there are always fun and exciting events going on! The museum is located at 5816 Clarendon Road and you can find out about their events by calling 718-629-5400. You may not have a time machine, but you DO have the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum ! They'll take you back in time...any time!

And now that spring is here, you're going to want to spring into action when you host that family picnic or barbecue. That means you're going to need cases of beer, soda and water! Oh, no - where are you going to get those discount prices? If you didn't say Rogers Beer & Soda , you're shopping in all the wrong places.

And while you're planning that barbecue, you should also be planning all the fun activities your kids will be taking part in this summer! If you haven't thought about where to send them (hey - you don't want them sticking around the house for two months), we'll make it easy for you. How do you spell fun? It's not F-U-N - it's H-E-S - as in, the Hebrew Educational Society - where your kids will enjoy basketball, karate, dance and tons of cool activities all summer long.
