The Estevan Downtown Business Association hopes to see a large crowd for its annual Street Fair on July 14.
The 1200-block and part of the 1100-block of Fourth Street will be shut down for the event. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Jennifer Pettitt, who owns the Jenny Joans clothing store on Fourth Street, said there will be a wide variety of activities taking place. Activities for children will include bumper cars, face-painting and bouncy castles.
Businesses will have in-store specials during the day.
“Each merchant will have their own sidewalk sale going on outside, so they will have deals, discounts and special promotions going on, as well as in-store specials,” said Pettitt.
Charitable organizations will have booths set up to raise funds for their community initiatives. Food trucks and other food vendors will be set up on Fourth Street.
She hopes the local members of the Estevan Police Service and the Estevan Fire Rescue Service can be present for tours of their vehicles.
Since the street will be closed off, it will allow people to take their time and browse the merchandise in a relaxed setting.
Pettitt said the downtown merchants are always excited to get people to come take a look at what they have to offer.
“There are always new businesses to check out, and we have some new members to the Downtown Business Association, so we like to bring everyone for a community event, to do it together and have a family-oriented event. It’s a really fun day.”
