The Fair Lawn Chamber of Commerce, organizers of the fair, are pictured at their booth. Jack Donahue, member of the Chamber Executive Board (with the Patch water bottle); Mary Marrara, President of the Chamber; Mitch Palin, Executive Board Member; and Hank Pawski, Executive Director of the Chamber. Mr. Pawski noted that this is the 14th annual fair in the Radburn business district. Two fairs are held per year, the other in October on River Road. The role of the Chamber is to bring the community together. Chamber members enjoy special rates for booths to promote their businesses. All profits from the 8,000-10,000 people who visit the fair go toward charity. Its a place where families can bring strollers and their dogs, which have water bowls and treats set up for them along the street.
