COME ONE, COME ALL TO THE ANNUAL PELHAM STREET FAIR!
The Pelham Chamber of Commerce says
it will host the annual Village Street Fair on Saturday, June 7th,
and its own members will organize every detail of the event from street vendors
and free entertainment to this year’s classic car show.
“The feedback we received from last
year’s Street Fair was positive,” says Chamber President Sandy Waibel, “but
people also told us they wanted an event with more local flavor, something that
felt like home. So our members
stepped up to the plate and volunteered to manage the entire event themselves.”
The annual Pelham Street Fair is a
Village tradition that brings neighbors and families out for the day along
Fifth Avenue from Lincoln Avenue to First Street. In addition to great food and drinks, visitors to this
year’s Fair will enjoy demonstrations, craft tables, and sidewalk sales. Youngsters will love the carousel and
fun kiddie rides—all free thanks to support from participating vendors. Other free entertainment for kids will
include tree climbing, a fun-filled Velcro Olympics-style competition, and a
crash course.

Adults will enjoy the Classic Car
Show, presented by Moonlight Cruising, and free musical entertainment will keep
everyone on their feet. The Gazebo

Dell, and Motown’s Bobby Walker with help from DJ Bobby James. Dance lovers
will have a chance to demonstrate their skills at “Tango in the Courtyard” from
1:30 pm – 3:30 pm at the Pelham Arts Center.

for Chamber members. So courtesy
