After having to delay the celebration because of heavy rain, the third annual Adams Street Fair was held on a near-perfect day. The festival is organized to support and honor
Visitors to the Adams Street Fair found ways to beat the heat Sunday afternoon, as they attended the event meant to honor first responders for their efforts during the COVID-19
ADAMS â A brand-new celebration is coming to town, and it s going to benefit the community s first responders.
Joe Martin and his friend Leann OâBrien were reminiscing recently about the old Hijinx street party, and they decided to bring back the street festival format as the Adams Street Fair
The festival will run from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Adams Visitor Center.
âThis is important to me, because I appreciate everything the first responders do for us and itâs about time to give back,â Martin said. âWe have the best first responders you could ever imagine.â
Adams Fire Chief John Pansecchi said the department appreciates the help, noting that donations have been declining since the start of the pandemic.

WARREN The city will spend up to $1,442,917 for the purchase of six new vehicles, including four fully automatic side-loading garbage collection trucks, one front-loader refuse collection vehicle and one cable-hoist lift rolloff truck.
The purchase of the six vehicles will cost the city less than when it purchased five vehicles in 2015 for $1,462,227, according to Leann O’Brien, director of the Environmental Service Division.
The lease of the current vehicles ended in November.
O’Brien said the department has had an increase in the use of the rolloff truck in recent years.
The cost of the vehicle purchase already has been factored into the department’s budget, O’Brien noted.
