The youth division of the Monongahela Main Street Program, known as "M.y. Main St" will hold its sixth annual "Railroad - Street Fair" in the 200 block of Third Street on July 4 from 6:00 PM – 9:00PM.
The Fair consists of about 25 booths, including vendors, food booths, games, and other attractions. One booth depicts the tavern of Joseph Parkison, our town founder, who began doing business here about six years before the Revolutionary War began.
To open the fair, local farmers arrive on horseback to deliver a copy of the Declaration of Independence and Parkison reads part of the Declaration to the crowd. A mural will be painted live in the background of the Fair by artists from Rivers of Steel Arts. Food will include gyros, funnel cakes, hotdogs, and a real lemonade stand run by grade schoolers. There will be music played on a Celtic harp, a violin, and a guitar, plus balloons, caricatures, facepainting, and crafts by young local entrepreneurs. A special feature this year will be photography booths featuring prints for sale by local photographers and a chance to talk to them about their work.
The fair ends in time to head to the Aquatorium and watch the fireworks. Coming to enjoy the Fair also means you'll be Downtown early enough to have an easier time finding a parking spot on Monongahela's absolute busiest day of the year.
For additional information or any questions, please contact Terry A. Necciai, Executive Director of Monongahela Main Street Program at 724-310-3299.
