You need a bigger space for the Greenpointers Holiday Market, it was UNBEARABLY crowded last year, everyone walked in, turned around and walked right back out.
It’s almost impossible to move, it’s wall to wall people.
I’m skipping it this year, you need a bigger space, it’s not fair to vendors because customers can’t even make it to their table and not fair to guests.
