Adams Hi-Jinx Night Postponed to August
UPDATE: Hi-Jinx Night has been cancelled for Monday because of the threat of thunderstorms. It has been rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 28, from 6 to 9 p.m.
ADAMS, Mass. — Rain or shine, Hi-Jinx Night returns to Park Street on Monday from 6 to 9 p.m.
The annual street fair expects more than 50 vendors along with live entertainment.
Organizer Annmarie Belmonte said all donations and funds raised at this year's street fair will be donated to Hoosac Valley Football Booster Club and to a scholarship fund create in the name of Kaliq Sherman.
"Anyone wanting to make a donation to the booster club or the scholarship can do so by finding the donation tables in front of the diner on Park Street to help us help them," she said. "We will have a 50/50 set up also."
Sherman was killed in a car accident earlier this year.
More recently known for a time as the Susan B. Anthony Days Street Fair, Belmonte and Joe Martin, along with a group of volunteers, took over coordination of the event last year. It had been run by the town's Event Committee, which dissolved a couple years ago.
Park Street will close prior to the beginning of the event and Route 8 traffic detoured. Booths for organizations and commercial vendors will line the street from the library to the post office.
There will be face painting, music, giveaways, information, demonstrations, Hoosac Valley football's "pie in the face" booth, a variety of foods, and crafters and vendors.
"They range from handmade to direct sales as well as food and informational vendors," Belmonte said of this year's lineup. "Pony rides are back again this year."
A complete list can be found on the Hi-Jinx Facebook page.
As for entertainment, Riot Boi Entertainment will DJ and Omer Black will do a magic show.
"We have had the pleasure of being introduced to a few great entertainment people who were willing to donate their time to make this a great day," Belmonte said.
(If there are thunderstorms Monday, the event will be rescheduled.)
