The Garden City Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for its 33rd annual Fall Festival Street fair, set for Saturday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Seventh Street.
The primary contributing sponsor will be Avalon Garden City, which will sponsor the master of ceremonies to include music and entertainment. There will be plenty of activities for the kids. Included will be the return of the two trackless kiddy trains carrying youngsters 12 years of age and younger up and down Seventh Street.
There will be the traditional inflatable “bouncy” sponsored by SMPL Technologies, and the ever-popular money cube (sponsorship available).
Returning for 2012 is the Fivestone Rock Band, to be sponsored by Leo’s, and Crash & Burn offering classic rock (sponsor available).
The Garden City Department of Recreation and Parks will provide a face painter, always popular with the youngsters. Additionally, the young dancers from the Broadway Bound Dance Center of Garden City, entertaining spectators each year at the Belmont Festival in June, will return to perform. There will be great food along the way, and much more.
For 2012, the chamber will welcome vendors offering a variety of craft and
gift items. Adding to the festivities, the Garden City High School’s Homecoming Day Parade will step off from Seventh Street at noon.
In addition to the many businesses exhibiting, Garden City community organizations are also welcomed to showcase and promote their missions and fundraisers. All chamber members who are not located on Seventh Street may also have exhibit space. However, all groups must first call Liz at the chamber (746-7724, ext. 101) to secure space, which must be assigned in advance.
To date, contributing sponsors for various activities in addition to Avalon Garden City, Leo’s and SMPL Technologies include Securities Consultants, LLC; Walsh Marcus McDougal & DeBellis, LLP, and the Welcoming Club of Garden City.
Sponsorships for the money cube and various activities, particularly for the youngsters, are still open. For information, and to reserve exhibit space, call the chamber and/or visit www.GardenCityChamber.org.

just reading Jane Goodall with my son for school and came across this quote of an amazing woman…Read More "every individual matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual makes a difference." that is what makes our nation, our village so great everyone has an opinion whether we agree with it or not. It just saddens me to think some may not voice their opinion in the future because of the rather harsh comments which I'm sure were just meant to get a point across rather than be hurtful. Garden City residents are not afraid to get involved, to stand up for what they believe in and I am proud to live here.
