The Needham Business Association’s annual Harvest Fair took place on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at Memorial Field. There were 90 plus vendors, pony rides, entertainment all day and an array of food vendors. The day was a huge success even though it had rained first thing in the morning but the rest of the day could not have been better for the public to come out and to enjoy the festivities.
The highlight of the Harvest Fair was the crowd favorite "Souper Bowl" which was held under the big tent. Eleven local food purveyors competed for top honors in a soup taste-off. For the first time we had a tie for the Judges Choice: Silvio’s Wild Mushroom Soup from Wingate at Needham and the Golden Beet Rooted Soup from Root Catered Events. The Curried Squash Soup w/Pear from Briarwood Healthcare was the Peoples Choice.
We look forward to another great Harvest Fair/Souper Bowl in 2012. Save the Date: Saturday, October 6. Location to be announced later.

In recent years over 200 children have participated in this event. Needham businesses participate by passing out treats to the kids!

NBA Sponsors the Blue Tree Lighting
The Needham Business Association’s annual Blue Tree Lighting will take place on Saturday November 26, 2011 at 4:30 pm at Needham Heights Avery Square and at 5:00 pm at Needham Town Common. The Blue Tree has been a town tradition since 1954 to ring in the beginning of the holiday season.
It is hard to resist the excitement of counting down those final seconds before the lighting of the tree. After the tree lighting, Santa rides into the Town Common and assumes center stage to listen to all the children's holiday wishes. Whatever your reason for coming out, don't miss this chance to experience the warmth and community spirit firsthand. With your help we will be able to continue this wonderful tradition. It is never too late to make a donation to the Blue Tree Lighting Fund. Call 781-444-7980.
