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.
