I would like to express myself officially through this letter.

My name is Allen Honig; my family has owned and operated Poultry Mart Inc. in the Village of Great Neck Plaza since 1950.

My business and I have participated in every Street Festival/AutoFest since the beginning. I was a member of the first board of directors at the inception of the Business Improvement District in the Village of Great Neck Plaza.

I want it officially known that I have never been, nor ever will be, in favor of the elimination of the Great Neck AutoFest. I am, however, open for suggestions, to consider an alternative to the event, provided it can attract and draw as large a crowd, 20,000 to 30,000 people, from outside of Great Neck.
