At one moment it was rainy, the next it was windy, and the next it was sunny — but the capricious weather didn’t stop hundreds of neighbors across West Hempstead from coming out to enjoy the annual street fair, organized by the West Hempstead Community Support Association.
The fair, on Nassau Blvd across from Hall’s Pond Park, had no shortage of attractions. Kids had their pick of bounce houses, and adults enjoyed artisan and craft vendors offering hand-carved cutting boards, crocheted stuffed animals, or tastes of flavored honey — all while live music kept a spring in everyone’s step.
