Caldwell Street Fair Draws Big Crowd, Including Mikie Sherrill

CALDWELL, NJ — Caldwell’s annual Street Fair drew an enthusiastic cross-section of residents for 2018, including a special guest: U.S. Congress candidate Mikie Sherrill.

The annual street fair - a project of the volunteer members of The Rotary Club and the Kiwanis-West Essex – saw its 27th incarnation this year. As in the past, the fair featured arts and crafts, children’s rides, local vendors and, of course, food.

The Rotary Club of the Caldwells shared several photos of the fair (see below).

Sherrill, who is running for a seat in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, wrote that she “had a great time” at the event. The former prosecutor and Navy helicopter pilot took time to meet with three local candidates in the 2018 election: John Kelley (who is running for mayor) and Frank Rodgers and Christine Schmidt (running for council seats).
