On Saturday July 18th the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce hosted the 50th Annual Village Fair and Sidewalk Sales. Thousands of bargain hunters and their families came downtown for a day of fun! With over 125 participating merchants and vendors there was plenty of entertainment, food and of course, bargains galore for everyone!
The day, like any other big event, takes months and months of planning. The Chamber would like to thank our sponsors; William Raveis Real Estate, People’s United Bank, Karl Chevrolet, New Canaan YMCA, Bankwell, Kempo Academy of Martial Arts, Stamford Hospital, NC Parking Dept., NC Historical Society, the Pop UP Park Committee and the New Canaan Advertiser.
A round of applause also goes out to the many folks and organizations that made this day possible including the New Canaan Chamber Board, the team of Karl Chevrolet, the New Canaan Town Band, The School of Rock, Pennyweights for their donation of a booth to a non-profit which was granted this year to the “Slow Down In our Town” initiative. Last but not least we owe Mose Saccary, Tiger Mann and the crew at Public Works a huge amount of gratitude for all their help and for having downtown all cleaned up in little over an hour after the event was over.
Finally, I would like to extend my appreciation to all the merchants and vendors who have committed to join the Chamber and support our events. Together we are making a difference and it shows!
Our next exciting event will take place on August 20th with the Taste of the Town Stroll. Stay tuned for more information as we roll out many new features for the community to enjoy all the superb dining choices we have here in New Canaan.
