One group that’s doing its part in mitigating spread continues to be the 4th Avenue Merchants Association (FAMA.) Last week they sent out an announcement confirming the cancellation of the spring 4th Avenue Street Fair. That makes 2 in a row for them, both due to the pandemic. And in both cases, they did the socially responsible thing. Despite the serious financial impact it has on the Avenue.
Each Fair attracts hundreds of artists and craft workers. It attracts thousands of people to the Avenue. There is no way they could conduct an event like that and get close to following the COVID guidelines. So high marks to our friends on the Avenue. The shops are open, so please make a point of doing some take-out to help them through this mess.
Mark your calendar – forever the optimist, the December Street Fair is scheduled for December 10th through the 12th.
