""My custom creation was a huge hit, and I lost count of the compliments and picture requests," she said. "As being part of the Ragamuffin Parade Committee, a few of us decided to dress up to promote our 60th year approaching. For years, my family members won this parade due to our uniqueness of costumes.""
""I'm all about being creative and standing out," she explained. "While scrolling Amazon, I stumbled upon some surprisingly realistic chicken wing bones and knew I had to build something original rather than buying a premade outfit.""
""Wing Wars was a standout event that truly showed the heart of Bay Ridge," she said. "Even with 10 degree temperatures, about 150 locals and visitors joined the crawl, which ran perfectly from start to finish.""
Bay Ridge hosted its inaugural Wings Fest, a wing-crawl competition organized by Merchants of Third Avenue and Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue BID. Participants visited 13 restaurants to sample wings while restaurants competed for top honors. A costume contest awarded Marianne Curran Fezza first prize for a giant sauce-container outfit featuring fake chicken bones and wing photos, earning a $150 prize. Bar Chuzo won the Wing Wars championship. About 150 locals and visitors attended despite 10-degree temperatures. The event served as a fundraiser for local civic associations and the FDNY Lt. Mark Diezmians Children's Scholarship Fund, and showcased strong community unity and spirit.
