Road once again, spotlighting local small business owners as they kick off the holiday season. So where are we headed? Storm Watch team. Meteorologist. A No is joining us from that style with more on this year's Winter Wonderland holiday marketplace. So, Alan, what do we got going on right now? Things are more or less quiet, but things are already starting to heat up. They are cleaning, getting everything ready for. Of course, the big afternoon expected today and to talk a little bit more about what to expect here with the Bed Stuy Winter Wonderland. We have Dale Charles, executive director of the Beds Stuy Gateway bid. Thank you so much for coming out here this morning. Thank you for having me. So tell me a little bit more about what to expect as things start to get going around lunchtime. So right now we're in the process of cleaning up and then we have things coming up like we're wrapping gifts with Wells Fargo for the kids because we're giving away almost $10,000 worth of toys until December 23rd. Um, we have things coming up where we have the Brooklyn United Marching Band and we have, um, oh, it's just so much stuff. I'm so sorry. We have Brooklyn United Band and we have the Brooklyn ballet coming out and there's just, just a lot of, there's, there's even little secret stuff that's coming up that we didn't even talk about and we don't want nobody to know because we're honoring eight businesses on, within the bid and making sure that they get here but not telling them what we're doing for them. So we'll have them up on stage, hopefully get a little teardrops coming out of their eyes because, you know, right now businesses, it's, it's, it, it, it took a lot to get through COVID and we have a lot of businesses that are suffering. So my goal was to find the businesses within the corridor that are almost going out of business and giving them a little something to help them through so that they can survive through the holidays, talk about a tease and, and of course, this afternoon, starting at 430 there's going to be the big ceremony. Tell us a little bit about that as well. So we have something that we're doing a shooting star lighting, not Chris street lighting because I, like I said, in honor of the businesses, we wanted to honor it as shooting stars that they literally got through COVID with the, the the teeth of their claws trying to, to get through business. If anybody know about small business, it's hard, it's hard to stay in business and right now COVID is still here even though we think it's not. Right. Thank you so much for having us, Dale. We're gonna have more throughout the morning for now. I'm gonna send it back into the studio.

Things out on the road in Brooklyn here, spotlighting local small business owners as they kick off the holiday season was meteorologist Allen. No, is joining us from bed side with more on this year's Winter Wonderland holiday marketplace. It looks beautiful behind you. Oh, yeah, for sure. Aha Christie. It is really, really beautiful. But listen, the sun isn't even up and a lot of what's going to be happening here later this afternoon, it hasn't even set up. So this is all a part of the initiative from the Betty Gateway Business Improvement District, which has been around since 2009. And with, of course, the goal of spotlighting some of the small businesses here. Of course, this actually launched on small business Saturday, but we're going to keep the small business vibe going all the way through the holiday season. There's going to be a tree lighting ceremony as well. Later on this evening at 5 p.m. we're here at the corner of Marcy Avenue and Fulton Street. So right in the heart of Bed Stuy and at that ceremony as well, there are going to be eight small businesses here right in the heart of Bed Stuy that are going to be honored. I'm going to take a step out of the way so you can take a look here at the beautiful trees as well. And honestly, these booths while empty right now going to be bustling with different small businesses as well. Different booths being set up again. This is all dedicated to non profit and community organizations. There are multiple events that are going to be happening here on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. So that means yes, the kids can come out here on the weekends as well. It's going to be between noon and six pm through basically the Christmas time December 23rd. Today is going to be the big event with that tree lighting ceremony at five o'clock. And during those Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, as you can see there, there's going to be a winter fashion showcase featuring the latest creations from Brooklyn based iconic designer Mosu on Saturday, December 2nd, multiple family friendly events will be here as well. Pictures with Santa and Mrs Claus as well will be here, live music gift getaways and so much more. So while things are pretty calm right now, it is going to be a whole lot awesome heading into this afternoon. So if you can make it here after work or maybe after school really nice. The ceremony begins at 430 goes through six with that tree lighting at five o'clock. We're going to have as well, live interviews coming up in the next hour. So make sure you stay tuned. But for now I'm going to send it back into the warmer studio. Asian Christie meteorologist, Alan Osa.
