CALLING ALL ARTISITS, NON-PROFITS AND JUDY GARLAND IMPERSONATORS!
Garland Street Preps for 6th Annual Street FairThe Garland Street Fair Planning Committee is currently accepting applications and inquiries from local artists and non-profits who would like to participate in this full-day event. Booth space is available for a fee. Interested parties should contact Tracy Mielke at 324-2323.
August 16th, 2008 will mark the 6th Annual Garland Street Fair—an all day family event featuring food, live music and entertainment, art, crafts, and activities for all ages. Per tradition, the Garland Street Fair will be a tribute to Judy Garland and The Wizard of Oz.
In line with the Wizard of Oz theme, a Judy Garland impersonation contest will be held at the end of the evening. Start preparing your costumes! Of course, the contest would not be complete without Toto look-alikes. So bring your kids, and your dog!
Over 10,000 people attended the Garland Street Fair in both 2006 and 2007. This turnout is expected to increase in 2008.
Spread over two blocks of the historic Garland District, the Street Fair is able to boast everything from merchants and vendors, face painting, and live comedy acts, to arts and crafts, kids’ activities, and food vendors. There will also be three separate stages wth live music performances throughout the day. Last year, the Garland Street Fair was headlined by Celtic Knots.
