The organizers are especially looking for games.

SEASIDE – The Seaside Chamber of Commerce and Fireworks Committee will hold its third annual Fourth of July Street Fair from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 4, after the parade and old-fashioned social and before fireworks begin. The committee is calling for groups, businesses or individuals to apply for a “fun raising” booth space for the Street Fair, which will be held on Broadway from Columbia to the Turnaround.

Nonprofit organizations will not be charged for the space. Businesses or individuals will be charged a fee of $20. The following restrictions apply:

– No “sale” of merchandise or food.

– Items may be given as prizes or samples may be offered.

– Games and booths must be family-friendly and the organizers recommend keeping any “fees” or charges for activity affordable.

– No duplication of activities – first come, first served.

– Booth operators are to provide their own staffing and equipment (tables, tents, etc.).

– Booth operators are responsible to keep their areas clean and free of trash.

– Booth set-up can begin at 2:30 p.m. and tear-down must be completed by 9:30 p.m.

The organizers are especially looking for carnival type games, such as fishing game, duck pond, dart game (“sticky” darts only – no points), tossing games, dunk tank, bubble fun, face painting, product samples or information/educational outreach.

Among those already committed are the Kiwanis wood sales, “sand art” and Living Historians. Among those planned are a petting zoo and the Oyster Shooters band. The band will be taking two one-half hour breaks and there will be “filler’ entertainment such as singers, dancers, jump ropers, jugglers and the like.

If you would like to participate as a vendor or entertainer, contact Laura Kaim, Street Fair Coordinator, at (503) 738-6391 or info@seasidechamber.com for booth reservations and entertainment spots. Space is limited.
