Second Annual Fall Festival Sept. 22, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Come Join All The Fun

Sept. 22, 2012 is going to be a very busy day in North Andover!

The North Andover Merchants Association would like to invite you, and your family and friends to their 2nd Annual Fall Festival held on the grounds of the Knights of Columbus at 505 Sutton St., North Andover  MA.

This event is a combination of a merchant market and a fun filled day of activities for your kids.  As you are browsing along the merchant booths, your children can take a pony ride, jump around in a bouncy house or have their adorable faces painted. They will also be able to build a scarecrow and decorate a pumpkin.

This is truly a "family day" event. There is a little bit of everything for everyone including live entertainment, a bon fire at dusk and a beer tent too !  

A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Knights of Columbus Handicap Children's fund.  Last year the North Andover Merchants Association was able to donate a check totaling over $500.00 to this fund.

Terry Holland, North Andover's Merchant of the Year, will once again be donating the proceeds from the Stachey's Pizza booth to the North Andover Santa Parade fund. Bands typically spend $1500.00+ to march in a local parade.  Stachey's was able to sponsor the cost of a band to participate in the North Andover Santa Parade.

NAMA had over 40 businesses set up booths last year and will be expecting even more this year.  Merchants in surrounding towns are welcomed to participate.  If you are a merchant and would like to participate please contact Sylvie Foulds at northandovermerchants@gmail.com
