It was a family affair! The Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber presented the 53^rd Annual Birmingham Village Fair running from Thursday, June 2nd through Sunday, June 5^th. The fair featured new rides and events for the whole family to enjoy, as well as the typical fair favorite eats, such as elephant ears, cotton candy, ice cream, and much more. Located at Shain Park in Downtown Birmingham, the fair is central to many outside restaurants and stores. The fair is noted as the Chamber’s largest fundraiser of the year, as a portion of the proceeds are also given in support of local charities. On Thursday, June 30, a Member Coffee event was held at Vibe Credit Union where Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber presented the nonprofit checks to those charities. It’s always satisfying to be able to give back to your community, all while having some fun in the process.
