Chamber Fiesta and Safe & Smart Fair – Something for Everyone The Paramount Chamber of Commerce Fiesta sponsored by Clinica Medica Hispana and Modern Development, and the Safe & Smart Fair hosted by the City of Paramount had something for everyone. Visitors to the Safe & Smart Fair had the opportunity to learn about public safety services and what’s new in Paramount Schools. Each school within the district setup a booth to share information about programs and services available at individual school sites. The City of Paramount setup booths to share information about public safety and parks and recreation programs. Service clubs and youth sports teams sold refreshments while Paramount students walked on stage to be recognized by city and school district officials for their academic achievements. When the Safe & Smart Fair came to an end visitors crossed the street to the Paramount Entertainment Center where there was more fun to be had, the three day long Paramount Fiesta was open for business. Once inside the Fiesta visitors treated themselves to carnival rides and of course traditional carnival foods including popcorn and cotton candy. The event also included vendor booths featuring local businesses who offered food, information, raffle drawings, and giveaways. Both events are held each year in September to celebrate Education Month and provide a fun venue for the community. Next year the Fiesta will take place September 21 – 23, and the Safe & Smart Fair will be held on September 22nd.
