I spent hours roaming the Easter Bonnet Parade on Fifth Avenue on Sunday. It was a treat to see amazing creativity at work. Just about all the Bonnets were home made using materials many of us sell in our newsagencies. It was inspiring to see what people created.
The parade is no real parade in that’s it’s not an organised march. People mingled and posed for photos … very un-New York … people relaxed and enjoying strolling the streets.
It was inspiring – to work on something like with local newsagents at the heart of promoting it. I know some do this very well already. But why not more? It’s something we could own for the community to enjoy.
