Thousands packed the strip between Euclid Heights Boulevard and Mayfield Road, and the event went on for the most part without a hitch. 

But a tussle among teens around 5:15 p.m. threatened to disrupt the fair. Police calmed the crowd, and the music continued. The fair ended around 6 p.m. as scheduled.
