Hundreds of residents and visitors crowded the street outside of Davis Hall in North College Park on May 17 to shop for crafts, play games and listen to music at the city’s second annual Spring Street Fair.

The festival featured more than 45 local artists and craft vendors, community organizations, cooking demonstrations and food trucks for four hours on a mostly sunny day with temperatures in the mid-80s.

Crafter Luba Hansen of Rockville, who makes notebooks from discarded Amazon delivery boxes and colorful paper, said she keeps an eye out for College Park events.

“Every time I see on Instagram that they are putting on another fair, I’m, like, the first one to fill out the application,” said Hansen, who calls her booth “Love to Scribble.”

For the children, the fair featured a petting zoo with bunnies, a goat, a miniature cow and a llama, along with a hobby horse race and story time.

Adults had their own chance to race on hobby horses and listen to bands like Jess Eliot Myhre, Sven Abow, Edwin Lightner & Potomac Pickers, and Miles Spicer.

Artists displayed and sold homemade jewelry, home décor, clothing, spices, pottery, cards and cakes, among other goodies.

“I feel like it’s just such a nice community,” vendor Jay Flam, who lived in College Park’s Berwyn neighborhood until a couple of weeks ago, said. “Everyone comes over and looks at your stuff, and sometimes they buy stuff, and sometimes they don’t, but everyone’s really nice, and I get to share my art with people.”

Flam crochets bracelets and small knick-knacks that look like butterflies and turtles. “I’ve sold a good amount of stuff,” she said. “I’ve been keeping track of it all.”

Kyle Hudson and Tessa Mork, who live in College Park’s Hollywood neighborhood, brought their baby daughter, Willow, to see the bunnies at a makeshift petting zoo.

Hudson said the family came to the fair because it had a number of kid-friendly activities and because “we wanted to get outside on a nice, sunny day.”

Eileen Arnold, a longtime College Park resident, said she stopped by to shop and meet people.

“The fair is wonderful,” said Arnold as she admired ceramic mugs at an Omphalos Pottery booth. “You see people you know, you get to meet people you don’t know. I always buy something every year. You always see something new.”

Vendors said sales were good this year.

Phyllis Tucker, who has lived in College Park for 10 years and makes seasonal wreaths, called the fair “so awesome.”

“I like it because people are coming by,” she said. “People get out on a beautiful, hot day and we get food … we get entertainment.”

She noted that outdoor events like the fair and the Hollywood Farmers Market “are just great opportunities for people to get out and just say, ‘Oh, we got to have a great neighborhood.’ I think it makes a great neighborhood great.”

City Councilmember Alan Hew, who spent the afternoon shopping and talking with residents, said this year’s turnout was a bit smaller than last year’s, possibly because of the occasional clouds.

Still, Hew said this year’s fair featured more vendors than last year and “good energy. … I think people were expecting a great time and were not disappointed.”
