School looks forward to fete

Take a ride down the big slide.

St Thomas More Primary School Fete is coming up on Saturday 19 August, from 9am to 3pm. Once again it is an experience packed full of family attractions and bargains.
The well-loved annual fete is attended by thousands of locals who browse the wonderful range of hand-made treats and food stalls or enjoy amazing rides like what you would find at a big city fete. Visitors can find a bargain in their pre-loved stalls and have a great family day out full of children’s activities and fun.
The awesome rides include the Hurricane, Sizzler, a Mobile Games trailer, Bubble soccer, Inflatable Obstacle Course, Dodgems, Giant Slide, Giant Worm and Mini Jeeps Tea Cups. Principal Ann-Maree Pitot said there was something to suit every age and interest.
“There will be more than 35 stalls run by dedicated school parent volunteers, offering bargains for the whole family with pre-loved toys, clothes, surfboards and white elephant, plants, books, craft, homemade pickles and jams, cakes, biscuits and sweet treats,” she said.
“Enjoy lunch from the authentic Hot Mumma’s Curry, Aussie barbecue, hot and fast foods, gelato, hot dogs and sushi or a sweet treat at the quick cuppa’s, morning tea stall, pancakes, mango shack, strawberries and cream.
“For the kids there is the petting zoo, kids arts and craft, show bags, new toys, games, woodwork, face painting, lucky dip, snow cones, spider drinks, fairy floss and trick or treat stalls.”
The entertainment continues with dancing, singing, demonstrations and DJ Fro who will be pumping out cool music.
The free event will be held at the school on Ben Lexcen Drive, Sunshine Beach. Phone 5449 2022 or find them on the St Thomas More Parents and Friends Association Facebook site.
