With the ice cream social to kick it off, the ever-popular Callaway Cup "mule" derby, the 5k race, live entertainment all weekend long, a host of child- and family-friendly games and, of course, the carnival rides, the 2011 Fulton Street Fair is set up to follow the same successful formula it has followed since its inception in 2004.

Fair organizers are bracing for crowds of thousands to "Hit the Bricks" on June 17 and 18, saying they can't wait for the annual festival.
