(If you're like us, you will be disappointed to learn that this event does not, as far as we can tell, involve any Ozzy Osbourne.) The fest will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Prospect Park West and 3rd Street. Also worth noting: The first four people to arrive will get their own personal paper shredder!
