Six minute video uses time lapse footage to capture excitement of annual Caldwell event.

It's the biggest event of the year in Caldwell. More than 30,000 attendees and 150 vendors, plus rides and entertainment, line Bloomfield Avenue the first Sunday in October for the Rotary-Kiwanis Caldwell Street Fair. This year's 21st annual street fair was captured on video using three time-lapse cameras which were set up along the half-mile stretch of the fair.  The six-minute video condenses 12 hours of footage, from set up to breakdown to all the fun in between.
