THE grounds of St Philomena’s Catholic School will transform into a wonderland of activity on Sunday for the annual Spring Fair, with plenty of excitement for the whole family.
This much-loved community event will be bursting with activities and delights such as multiple jumping castles with all-day pass, face painting and braids, balloons, tombola, and chocolate roulette.
There’s fun in store for the whole community, with plant and produce stalls, a Trash ‘n’ Treasure, and cake stalls aplenty.
A football passing competition will raise the tempo and there will be carnival games with vouchers to win.
All that fun works up an appetite, and home-made pizzas, hot chips, sushi, roast meat rolls, sausage sandwiches, fruit salad, slushies, and freshly made orange juice with fruit donated kindly from Moree’s Vitonga Orchard.
There will also be coffee, tea, a variety of cold drinks and fairy floss to cater for every tastebud.
This year, for the first time, there will be a display of vintage Cadillacs from the 1960s and 1970s for motor enthusiasts.
The Monster Raffle, with items donated from local Moree businesses, will be drawn at 12.30pm and tickets can be purchased on the day.
A Ham Wheel will also be operating, so get in for your chance to win.
St Philomena’s is thrilled to include the school band in this year’s program.
The band will perform live during the day and contribute to a fantastic atmosphere while showcasing the terrific talent of local students.
Volunteers are currently being called upon for what will be a fantastic, whole-of-community, spring soiree, and families are encouraged to donate any baked goods, plants, and jars to the St Philomena’s office to include on the day.
St Philomena’s P&F President Scott Antees said the committee had been working hard behind the scenes, and was excited to deliver another great Spring Fair.
“It is such a fantastic day with so much going on,” Mr Antees said.
“It really is the highlight of the St Philomena’s social calendar for young and old, and this year’s fair will certainly not disappoint.”
The Spring Fair is held on the school grounds from 10.30am until 2pm, Sunday, September 23.
Entry is free, and the entire community is encouraged to come along and support the St Philomena’s P&F.
