ESTEVAN - The Estevan Downtown Business Association's annual Street Fair proved to be a popular event.
The 1100 and 1200 blocks of Fourth Street were closed to traffic from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the event. A variety of activities were held in the middle of the street. Kids enjoyed a rock-climbing wall and a couple of bouncy castles, and there were several vendors and some fundraisers.
Many of the businesses on Fourth Street had in-store specials and sidewalk sales, giving customers even more reason to shop locally.
The Street Fair was held at the same time as the Western Canada Baseball Championship in Estevan and the Estevan Steelhaus U18 AAA Bears training camp, both of which attracted a lot of people to the community.
Laurel Buck with the Downtown Business Association noted the Street Fair was booked before they knew about those two events, but when they found out those activities were happening, they decided to still have the Street Fair.
The event wrapped up with a showing of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 at the Orpheum Theatre.
