Hundreds of bargain-hunters crowded into the heart of downtown New Canaan on Saturday for the Chamber of Commerce’s popular Village Fair & Sidewalk Sale.
Parts of Elm, Main and Forest Streets were closed to vehicular traffic on a comfortably sunny day. “We are thrilled at all the organizations that have come out, all the vendors and—most importantly—all the shoppers who seem to be enjoying the bargains,” said Laura Budd, the Chamber’s executive director. “And we’re very blessed with the weather.”
Dr. Elle de Moll of Elite Dermatology Physicians participated in her first Sidewalk Sale as a business owner, with a booth set up on Elm Street. “We’ve had a great day meeting people and talking about what we do,” de Moll said. Across the street, the Connecticut Stage Company also was participating in its first-ever Sidewalk Sale, co-founders Lorah Haskins and Kate Simone said.
