The annual event will take place Sept. 22, but money is being sought to offset the cost of the event.
The 2012 Faire on the Square will take place Sept. 22 in the usual spot – behind Town Hall – but the cost of the event has town officials worried. Town Council Vice President Steven Corbett said about $10,000 was raised for last year's Faire, which features games, food and activities. That left the town searching for a way to cover the several thousand dollars shortfall, Corbett said. The Faire on the Square Committee is looking for help recruiting volunteers and soliciting donations. "At one time we had donations of about $30,000," Corbett said. Many of the donations come from local businesses such as banks and car dealerships, Corbett said, but more help is needed. "A combination of economic times and other factors mean that some groups …

Watertown's annual outdoor festival, Faire on the Square, was held Sept. 24.
Sitting in her booth at the Faire on the Square this weekend, Nancy Smith was surrounded by dozens of handmade animals, toys, clothes and other "kid things and cat things," as she likes to call them. A craftsperson from Billerica, Smith has shown her handmade wares for 10 years at Watertown's annual faire. "Today there are a lot of attractions for kids," she said. "There aren't as many booths with handmade crafts (as in the past). And, with the economy, people have to judge if they can afford things." Still, Smith, who attends about 15 fairs each year, said she has done alright, and thinks the Faire on the Square provides plenty of attractions for everyone — whether it's a hand-knit fishing toy with wooden handle for cats or the latest …
