The Downtown Street Fair should be renamed the Fargo Brewery Festival. It is no longer a family event to attend. The Downtown Community Partnership should be ashamed of themselves.

Almost every adult was walking around with a beer or drink in hand. The lines at the brewery stands and alcohol stands were so long that people couldn't get past the lines to see the talented artists and vendors who were participating.

The entertainment was horrible except for the performances by Trollwood and the FMCT. The rap music was disgusting. On Thursday, one of the rap performers stated that there would be some incentive words in his performance. Why even perform such vulgarity knowing this is supposed to be a family event?

I have attended the Street Fair for the past 10 years and always go to my regular vendors to get my supply of maple syrup from Jake's and get my Italian ice. This year, I had a hard time finding Jake's, and finally, on Friday, I found the Italian ice girl. They have always been in the same location until this year. Why the staff changed so many of the artists' locations was wrong and very unfair to artists and vendors who have participated for so many years.

All the brewery and alcohol places were highlighted on the program, and not one food vendor was listed. As a consumer, I was extremely disappointed in this year's Downtown Street Fair, as were many of my friends and neighbors.
