ADAMS, Mass. — A street fair will be held in the Visitors Center parking lot on Sunday, Aug. 15, from noon to 7 p.m.
The new event is designed to honor Adams first-responders with all proceeds from vendor fees going toward them..
"We feel as though they do so much for us and no one really gives back to them," Chairman of the Adams Street Fair Committee Joe Martin said. "This is our way of thanking them."
Martin said there will be food, games, music, and vendors.
Vendors interested should contact Martin at 413-212-095.
He said first-responders can use the proceeds in whichever way they want.
"I know the Police Department likes to give scholarships and the Fire Department needs equipment," he said. "And they deserve it because they were out there during this whole COVID thing risking their lives and their family's lives."
The committee is co-chaired by Leann Olson O'Brien. More information can be found on the group's Facebook page.

Hoosac Valley Elementary Unveils New Sign
ADAMS, Mass. — On Friday morning the Hoosac Valley Elementary School community gathered on the school's lawn to welcome the school's first sign.
Nearly seven years ago, Cheshire Elementary School and CT Plunkett Elementary School joined together to become Hoosac Valley Elementary School. After the closing of Cheshire Elementary School, the school district voted to rename CT Plunkett as Hoosac Valley Elementary School.
"At HVES, we share the importance of identity and belonging in every classroom as part of our Responsive Classroom approach," Principal Erin Beaulac said in a statement Friday. "Every student is called by their name and everyone is a part of our community. With that being said, we felt it was very important for our school's exterior to match our school's interior. There hasn't been a sign of the school's name on the outside of the building. This morning, all of that changed."
