Summer Street Fair highlights local merchants

Hundreds of people walked along Summer Street Sunday night taking in the sights, sounds and activities of a street fair.

[great]

It is nice to see activity in downtown adams. It has been a long time coming.

[great time]

but where were the trash recepticals???? So awesome to see the clouds go away, and have everyone out and about!! Can't wait for Hijinx!

[NBerk]

Don't forget about the free film series Topia Arts is offering this summer on Sundays into September if you are looking for Adams activities for the family.

[question]

When is Hijinx?

[lmao What a sham]

Redneck Roadshow at it's best. With Hassan as the ringleader! Nice. Isn't he from Pittsfield? I thought it stunk just like everything else that generates in a barroom with drunks to make up the quorum! Way to go Summer Street Association of Merchants; I just wish it were Summer Hill instead of Street; then you can wear bright yellow beacons that say SHAM Staff on them instead.

Did you fall off the grumpy tree and hit every branch on the way down? I thought it was nice enough.

Have to agree. This association is a joke. They have no clue how to have a street fair. If the "fat man" knew enough to keep his mouth shut long enough to listen to others and not say everything was his idea, they would be better off. Has anyone ever checked in to this fair to find out who is really benefits from it...what have they done for "Summer street" oh my bad they gave it a party. WHER DOES THE MONEY GO!!! Did the new signs showing what's on summer street blow away? SSAM= Same Stupid Arrogant Members.

Promote the businesses on Summer Street, Don't mask the store fronts with other peoples stuff from other streets. Has anyone felt a benefit from the street fair, do any of the people that bought "mike's" french fries feel like buying anything from the stores on the street??? I bet NOT!!!

Monday July 27. But don't tell what a sham or knows the deal. They'll find something wrong with hijinx too.

[lmao What a sham]

Actually I like hijinx and already knew when it was. Thanks anyway. I like respectable people and associations; not backstabbers, gossips, and liars. Try attending a SHAM mtg. weds. nights at The Grille.

[Get a clue]

you have more crap to say on these forums then most. Just because a few people who obviously have a clue as to what the real deal is, don't put your 2 cents in.

As for hijinks, they are able to have that on the towns "special events" money that doesn't have room for one more street fair. Ask the woman that runs that department of the town hall and she will tell you that it's not a park street fair it's a Adams fair paid for with that money that can only be used on park street.

All of these events SUCK!!!! sidewalk sales are a thing of the past, oh wait no there only legal if you do a street fair, the rest of the time keep all your sh*t in your store or your going to get fined or forced out of business.

People complain there's nothing to do in town, and then when there is something to do, people complain about it. That's all I'm saying. I am not a merchant and don't have a table at any of these so the only real deal I'm concerned with is just getting out for the event. I think they are nice enough, and apparently alot of other people do, too, judging by the attendance. If that's a load of crap then fine, don't go.
