In 1999 Celebrate! Spanaway volunteers cleaned streets, cleared vacant lots, and repaired and painted deteriorating buildings in Spanaway's historic district. | |

Murals stopped teen-age tagging. The clean-up effect rippled outward for blocks as homeowners and landlords were encouraged to "take a look at your property the way others see it." Celebrate!Spanaway's initial Safe Streets "neighborhood night out," to rebuild a sense of community and pride in Spanaway's historic district, grew into an old-fashioned street fair with artisans coming from as far as Florida and visitors from all over the U.S. |

And at a booth one block down from the cars, an artist painted an azure-colored butterfly onto the cheek of Angela Sark's daughter. The Spanaway Historic Street Fair was just one of many community celebrations around the South Sound this weekend. Sark and her three children, who are visiting from Indiana, were all looking for a Saturday activity. After scanning the morning paper, they decided to go to Spanaway's fair. Sark said she and her family found pleasure in the simplicity of watermelon-eating contests, candy dives, face paintings and a bit of dancing - all elements in an old-time country street fair. "It's been surprisingly good." |
