Sunday, December 16th, Flying Kite and Philly Swap presented a holiday craft market at St. Marks. There was a large number and interesting variety of vendors. The weather was not that great outside but it didn’t stop the constant stream of shoppers all afternoon. You will find the slideshow at this link.
Coming up on Sunday December 16th is the holiday craft market sponsored by Flying Kite on the Ground, the Frankford CDC and Philly Swap. At St. Mark’s Church at 4442 Frankford Avenue from 1:30 to 6:30 PM, there will be something for everyone.
Flying Kite Media hit the ground running in Frankford in October and quickly mounted two events at their Frankford headquarters at St. Marks.
Partnering with the Mural Arts project, they cosponsored a community paint day which once again gave residents the opportunity to get their hands on some paint brushes to work on the murals that will be displayed at various locations in Frankford. That was back on November 8th. At the same time, an art exhibition opened. You can follow this link to see the artists and a description of their work.
On November 10th, Flying Kite sponsored the first Frankford Fall Music and Arts Festival. Food, beer music, vendors and art sounds like a winning combination. The crowd far exceeded my expectations and the interesting thing is that they were not residents of Frankford. People from all over the city and beyond trekked to Frankford on a Saturday night to see what was happening here.
You can follow this link for a slideshow of the event. Stay tuned for something equally awesome coming up at St. Marks on December 15th.
From Joe Petrucci at Flying Kite Media, a story that will resonate with many in Frankford. Since I came into this journalism business a few years ago, I have met many good men in Frankford who had criminal histories in their past. This is one such story. Follow the link.
From our friends at Flying Kite Media, coming up on November 10 from 2 to 8PM at St. Marks. Bigger than anything Frankford has seen in years, follow this link for the details.
