This year's street fair is taking place on July 16-18 and it's Geoff White of The Perry Street Cafe who's the chair. Volunteers and ideas are always needed to pull off this community event - stay tuned for more updates - or leave a comment with a good suggestion here.

And don't forget that the South Perry Farmers' Market opens on June 3, from 3-7 p.m., in The Shop's parking lot. It's the market's fifth season already.

The South Perry Blog and yours truly will be at The Perry Street Cafe on Thursday morning, from 7-10 a.m. Come in and chat for a bit - I'll have a small stack of South Voice sections to hand out to the first dozen visitors I get.
