Off to a harmonious start withe Jericho Singers outside the Bookbinders.

Weekend activities dodge the downpours

Posted - June 12, 2023

The Street Fair, on Saturday June 10, was smoothly organized by JCA chair Charlotte Christie - unflappable as ever (or at least never seen flapping).

Our thanks to all the volunteers and our local councillors who helped direct traffic as the stallholder vehicles converged on Canal Street. They then operated the community stall and the cafe, and helped prevent children flying out of the bouncy castle. Also thanks to local businesses for their generous raffle prizes.

Josh at the Bookbinders provided an appetizing array of food, beer and music -- which complemented the Street Fair's Caribbean and Thai cuisine, including a welcome first appearance of the Giggling Squid.

The weekend had started with an excellent concert at the Church on Friday evening, followed by the Street Fair on Saturday and Run Jericho and a special Church service on Sunday.
