The Estevan Downtown Business Association (DBA) hosted its annual Street Fair on Saturday, with attractions ranging from sidewalks sales, bouncy castles and this year鈥檚 newest addition 鈥� bumper cars.

Around 15 businesses were involved with the fair, with a variety of street sales and merchandise discounts available to the public.
DBA president Jennifer Pettitt, who owns Jenny Joans women鈥檚 clothing store downtown, was pleased with the support.
