Thousands of hot dogs, smokies and cupcakes, hot chocolate and lemonade, hundreds of volunteers and an amazing concert too...Fair in the Square 2009 was another great day in the neighbourhood!

For the third year now, Central City Foundation and Vancouver Community College came together to organize a special afternoon for the community with great food, fun and entertainment and even a small fair of community groups, artists and artisans selling their wares.

We would like to thank all who worked so hard to make this afternoon such a great success including all of the volunteers, our community partners and especially the musicians and performing artists who provided wonderful music and the many sponsors and in-kind contributors without whom this event would not be possible!

Huge thanks to
