The annual Sea Cliff Mini Mart, an arts and crafts exposition sponsored by Kiwanis, takes place on the first Sunday of October every year. We probably haven't been in 25 years, though. Sea Cliff Avenue, the center of everything has always been packed with people shoulder to shoulder, and today was no different. Many charitable organizations depend on this as a fund raiser for their coming year's programs. Please be sure and click on each photo to see more detail.
There were two bands that were playing, with great old rock and roll music, and this first one was at the firehouse.
You will be pleased to know that beer was available, and that was most obvious around where the bands were playing.
Most of the vendors were unter those pop-up tents, so this was easier to photograph because this wood worker had his works out in the open.
This is the other band, with just as large a crowd standing and listening, located at the west end of the main street. These guys were really giving it their all!
Did I mention that there was beer available? There were people at the event of all ages, and it was a great place for people watching.
I did this photograph of the west end of the main street, to show how many people were here, and how packed it was! Amazing what a popular event this is. Fortunately the weather was perfect this year. There is always the worry of a rainy day postponing the event.
And the good news was that beer was available for purchase. Did I mention that?

What about Raspberry Ice tea?? Guess not ..haha
You didn’t buy a beer? Shocker! The street was really packed. Joan and I have been to a lot of local fairs and they have never been so tightly packed in. You did get some good photos; especially people holding beer :-) Betsey
It is amazing how many people are there. Looks like a fun time with great weather too. Trace
Great "Street Photography"! Street Fairs can be fun if you don't mind crowds. Now, this is where your Hasselblad (digital back)would be handy, not having to raise the camera to your eye. LOL
