New attractions and old favorites will be featured, including the children’s costume contest, “Larchmont’s Got Talent” show and pie-baking and pie-eating contests.

Winners of the talent show contest will reap $500, $300 and $200 for first, second and third place respectively. The contest is open to amateurs of all ages and categories include singing, dancing, comedy, gymnastics, instruments and bands.
“There are no limitations,” said fair co-chair Vivian Gueler.

Tryouts for the talent show are on Sun., Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Coldwell Banker, 251 N. Larchmont. Larchmont-based acupuncturist Jim Bloomfield will judge.

Hello! The best way to get involved with the Family Fair is to contact the Larchmont Boulevard Association. Their website (larchmont.com) is currently being updated, so a better way to contact them may be their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LarchmontBoulevard/
The other way is to write them “snail mail” at Larchmont Boulevard Association, Inc., 419 N. Larchmont Blvd., PMB 222, Los Angeles, CA 90004.
I hope that helps!
Thanks, Rachel! Since, there’s a limited left before the Fair date, Oct. 30, 2018, our KC Board of Directors was not able to discuss such possible involvement this year. Most likely we will consider this on the next Fraternal Year in 2019?
Thanks for your immediate reply and please bear with me not to reply soon since, we’re in the process of holding our Fraternal Year’s Installations of Officers that only happened a month ago.
Sincerely yours,
Bert C.Javelo
DGK & Community Director
