We are proud to recognize and thank our 12th Annual Ann Arbor Monroe Street Fair Hash Bash Festival Sponsors and upon that please support them as they help to bring this event to Ann Arbor each year.
Michigan NORML has been a long time vendor, sponsor, supporter and partner of the Monroe Street Fair since its earliest days. Michigan NORML’s booth has been at the cornerstone of the fair, in space #1 at the corner of Monroe Street and Oakland since the fair basically organized in its second year.
Michigan NORML provides essential operational support on the day of the event. Perhaps the most important responsibility is providing for emergency street access via barricade duty at each end of the street. Should an emergency vehicle, or resident, need access to the street, the Michigan NORML members quickly move the barricades to allow access. Four members rotate throughout the day. One time, Michigan NORML volunteers have even saved a handicapped woman in a wheelchair. As the woman dressed in brightly colored clothes wheeled slowly towards the approach to the sidewalk at the corner of Monroe Street and Oakland, near the Michigan NORML booth, she lost her balance at the entrance to the sidewalk, and as her wheelchair started to tumble, the Barricade Crew leaped into action and rescued her before she hit the ground. Now that’s what I call outstanding!
The Michigan NORML volunteers also help keep the site clean by helping to pick up trash throughout the day. This event produces a lot of trash and it takes a lot of people to keep up with it.
Thank you to Michigan NORML for their years of vending, sponsorship, support and partnership with the Monroe Street Fair.
