Despite the overcast skies, threat of rain which later turned into a misty rain and cool weather, Roosevelt Island residents came out to Good Shepherd Plaza earlier today to take part in Roosevelt Island Day 2011. Here are some scenes. The petting zoo

as well as a pony to ride.
There were spinning rides for little kids,
those a little bit older
and inflatables to jump on.
Popcorn
and cotton candy were offered
and accepted
as was candied apples.
Roosevelt Island Residents Association ( RIRA ) Council Members had caps and visors to sell 
and parents were able to obtain Child ID’s for their Kids.
