Another Successful
Avenues Street Fair 

       (Sept. 18, 2004)--Another edition of the Greater Avenues Community Council's Street Fair is in the history books.

Thousands of fun-seekers turned out Saturday for the annual one-day celebration of local artists, musicians, people, and food.

The weather was almost ideal, though gusty winds gave the vendors a number of anxious moments.

Chairman of the fair for the past several years has been Walt Zwierzycki. He was brought back by popular demand for one last (his sixth) street fair. He is retiring because he has moved from the Avenues and must move on to new challenges.

Walt says the annual fair wouldn't be possible without the neighbors' generous "donation" of their street for the day. Water and power are provided to fuel the booths and make the fair run smoothly. It takes about 50 volunteers to plan the fair and many more who give their time and effort during the fair itself.
