On Sunday, Sept. 21 from noon to 5 p.m. the upper block of Madison Avenue was blocked off to all traffic for the 6th annual Upper Madison Street Fair. The fair featured food, games, vendors, and musical acts. Anne Savage, 46, chair of the fair’s steering committee said, “You can think of it as a super block party.” The event is no small endeavor--it is planned and carried out completely by volunteers. “Running a festival of this scale with no paid staff is very challenging,” said Savage. She did not shy away from the battle, though; she worked hard to fulfill her goal. “The big picture is we are trying to increase people’s un-

There were many new additions to the street fair this year according to Savage, including some do-it-yourself art. Sarah Moore, a local artist and business owner of Art in the Pines, led people in creating their own artwork during two sessions Sunday. Kevin McNamara, a 2001 graduate of Saint Rose and Pine Hills local, took part in the DIY art. “The fair is getting better and better. It’s growing, there’s a lot of variety of stuff,” said McNamara. The craft did have a cost of $5 that Savage explained is to cover materials cost. Continued on Page A8
