Comment by Doreen Scanlan on April 7, 2014 at 12:22pm: Square Fair plans are moving along nicely. The entertainment lineup is set.

We are just waiting for final confirmations from the performers. Along with the 19th Ward selling hot dogs and sausage, Unkl Moes will be returning with their great BBQ delicacies . Wraps on Wheels will be adding to our menu choices this year as well for the lighter option. Look for The Arnett Cafe to light up one corner of the square with their signature dessert waffles.

This year we have been reaching out to new artisans and crafters so you can expect some new faces and new products as well as our faithfully returning ones. There will be something for everyone of all ages. Don't forget to come hungry for pancakes from 8:30-10:30 .

We have also gone back to a Friday night parade so if you would like to march or create a float with a group this year;s theme is "The 19th Ward is Blossoming." The parade route is 216 Thurston Rd. to Chili Ave. up Woodbine to Aberdeen Square starting at 7Pm.

There is still room for more vendors and artisans . Applications are accepted up until May 15th.
