The Fair was opened
by local MP Simon O’Connor, School Principal Sarah Martin and Rotary President
Anil Nathoo.
Categories of stalls
included hot food, cold food, kids crafts and games, home baking, preserves,
books for adults and children, kids entertainment, Rotary raffle wheel and
silent auctions, throwing stalls including crockery throw, coconut shy, wet
sponge, kids fishing, community and commercial groups, static and active sports
and more!
A significant number
of the stalls, games and events were provided by the school pupils themselves
growing in numbers each year as the school increases in size. “These activities provide the children
experience in learning which activities work best in sales results, and become
real life lessons” said Principal Sarah.
Active kid’s
equipment included two bouncy castles, spring-less trampolines, mini tennis, netball
and rugby tackling.
Visits by a
Community Police vehicle and a local fire engine were also popular.
A highlight was the
entertainment stage which saw accomplished performances by the Stonefields
School Kapa Haka group, Stonefields Community Choir, JP the French Clown (who
is indeed funny) and other talented performers.
Generous
sponsorships and prizes were provided by local businesses in the Rotary Club
and School area.
“We are always
thrilled to see the support we get from our community for this very popular
event on our club calendar” said President Anil.
