The Business of Bayside
an open call to photographers and business leaders
The 100th Anniversary of Bayside Day takes place this year. The original event back in 1914 was sponsored by local business leaders, civic associations, and Bayside residents. The idea was to promote civic pride, community spirit, and boost local businesses. The original celebration featured five parades, a barbeque for 3,000 attendees, several baking contests and an inauguration ball for the elected "Queen of Bayside Day".
As part of the 100th anniversary commemorating Bayside Day 1914, BHS is organizing a photo exhibit which will be on display at the Castle in Fort Totten Park. The show will feature photographs by community members of local business owners engaged in their work. If you are a business owner or a photographer (hobbyist or professional) interested in participating in the exhibition we would like to hear from you.
Please contact Alison McKay at 718.352.1548, email info@baysidehistorical.org, or stop by the Castle for details.
