It was another brisk night about town, with a county wide wind advisory in effect! Unfortunately we had to cancel the children's craft due to the weather (it was balloon powered) but the stalwarts who made it to South Washington and Main Streets were rewarded by the efforts of Eric Everett and his bag of children's games, keeping us warm with bean bag races, egg and spoon, balloon sword play and the like. We were also visited by four young people from the EF language school - two from Khazakstan and one each from China and Korea - who we are hoping will return next month to meet you all in better weather.
The indoor offerings were once again diverse and popular - with music from Parlor Tricks at Coffee Labs, the Soul Dance Jam at the Y and new art at both Eyebuzz and Coffee Labs. Check out the video below......
Next month's event is April 18th and we'll be celebrating Earth Day and more on that note soon!

Announcing the Third Friday TRASH FOR CASH drive
Third Friday has joined the TerraCycle recycling program and in April we will begin collecting both
Foil Juice Pouches (Kool Aid, Capri Sun and Honest Tea, etc.). We cannot take juice boxes
Wide Mouth Yogurt Pots (6oz and 32oz, Stoneyfield Farm, Brown Cow, Dannon etc). We cannot take Yoplait etc. it has to look like a plant pot.
Neither of these items are recyclable by traditional means and would ordinarily end up in a landfill. TerraCycle take the foil pouches and makes them into Tote Bags (you may have seen some from a similar program in Whimsies) and the yogurt pots are turned into plant pots.
TerraCycle (and their corporate sponsors) will donate 2 cents per pouch/6oz pot and 5 cents per 32oz pot to a good cause. We have nominated The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns. So please bring your unwanted, clean, pouches and pots to the Craft Table starting in April.
Celebrate Literature - May 16th

Birdhouse Contest
Village Wide Bird House Contest - judging scheduled for Third Friday May 16th.
The Tarrytown Beautification Foundation is sponsoring a Village Wide Bird House building competition for this spring. We hope to get a lot of interesting and unique submissions from our many artistic minded Village residents.
The rules are simple:
The entrance holes should be 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and the birdhouse should be made of materials that will not amplify heat.
You can make it from scratch, or, if you have an existing bird house that you can remodel to make your own, that would be fine. Entries are to be submitted to Whimsies at 52 Main St. or Michael Christopher Antiques, 23 Main Street, no later than May 14th.
On May 16th, 3rd Friday, they will be put on display for all to admire. The display and judging will take place outside of Whimsies that night. Categories will include Most Unusual, Most Artistic, Best-in-Show and so on. Children under 13 will have there own competition.
The prizes are the Glory(the beautification foundation is a not for profit org). Winning entries will be displayed in various shops around town and eventually be placed on posts in Village parks for the birds to habitate.
So there you have it Tarrytown....go to the attic, dig into those boxes in the gararge,and look in the basement. Find unusual materials and let your imagination go wild. You’ll be surprised at what you can come up with!!
For those of you who are not feeling creative, we invite you to come stroll down Main St. on the Third Friday in May and admire all of the bird houses submitted.
For more information or questions feel free to call Chris at 914-332-0338.
