St John’s Anglican Church is once again gearing up for its annual Community Fair, a beloved event that has brought the local community together for nearly 75 years. This year’s fair promises to be a delightful day out for families, friends, and visitors of all ages, with a diverse range of stalls, activities, and entertainment.
One of the highlights of this year’s fair is the impressive array of stalls offering something for everyone. Visitors can browse through an assortment of books, homemade jams, and freshly baked cakes. For those seeking unique finds, there will be trinkets and treasures, second-hand goods, vintage clothing, arts and crafts, and an array of plants available for purchase.
The fair is not just about shopping; it’s also a celebration of community spirit and entertainment. Attendees can look forward to classic car displays, the stirring sounds of a pipe band, and an exciting medieval tournament. Children will be entertained for hours with a range of activities, including a jumping castle, pony rides, a reptile zoo, and more.
St John’s Community Fair first began in 1950, and over the decades, it has evolved from a small gathering featuring a doll show and maypole dancing into the bustling event it is today. Now boasting nearly 20 stalls, a varied entertainment program, and plenty of children’s activities, the fair remains a testament to the church’s dedication to serving and engaging with the local community.
The fair provides St John’s with a fantastic opportunity to give back to the community they serve while fostering meaningful connections with local residents. The volunteers take great pleasure in coming together to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
Whether you’re a long-time attendee or a first-time visitor, the St John’s Community Fair is a fantastic opportunity to experience the warmth and generosity of this vibrant church community. All are welcome to join in the festivities and enjoy a day filled with fun, fellowship, and family-friendly activities.
The 2024 St John’s Anglican Church Community Fait is on Saturday 19 October from 9am to 2pm at 45 Constitution Avenue, Reid.
