"Follow The Post's live coverage on Winter Storm Fern The $3-a-cup hot-chocolate stand proved a hit with the families that flocked to the park for frozen fun in the most snow the city had seen since 2021. Four-year-old Park Sloper Talia Fackler rolled off her sled when she heard the siren call of steamy hot chocolate, running toward the table while her mom Hannah Fackler, 38, asked the boys if they took Venmo. They did. Hannah Fackler said sledding is her daughter's favorite thing."
""She saw the big kids sledding, and we had to run over to the hardware store and get her a sled, and now every time it snows, we're out here," she said. "We're going to have to drag her out of here when her face just starts getting too red." The Fackler fam was far from alone. Nearby, Tait Foster, 39, and his daughter Georgia, 4, were racing their sled against fellow dad Artis and his 4-year-old Annabelle."
Winter Storm Fern dumped heavy snow across Brooklyn, turning Prospect Park into a packed sledding hill. Two 13-year-old entrepreneurs, Aaron Rappaport and Ted Driscoll, set up a $3 hot-chocolate stand to serve families and make money while stoop-shoveling jobs were delayed by the storm. The boys planned to sell up to 30 cups, lugging a folding table through snow, slush and sleet, and accepted Venmo. The stand proved popular with children and parents, including four-year-old Talia Fackler and other neighborhood families racing sleds on the hills during one of the city's biggest snowfalls since 2021.
