Hard at work

The fete committee girls (well, some of us) managed to find time on Saturday to do a little fete research by visiting the Elwood Primary market held once a month. It was a glorious Spring day to be fossicking through bric-a-brac, sampling pastries and coffees, and overall enjoying ourselves, with children in toe also.

Jams, Preserves, Spreads and Sauces

Lemon butter on hot toast, yummy, home made strawberry jam on a fresh croissant, tres bon, mint jelly with a lamb roast, delicious. No one can argue that home-made condiments are by far the most appealing. Even if they are made by someone other than yourself, there is something comforting in the fact that a little bit of love is in every jar.

Can you help out by making something for our preserves, jams and spreads stall this year? It doesn't have to be more than a couple of jars. A simple act that will really add to the flavour of this year's International Fete.

The Vintage Carousel

Step right up, and step back in time ....... with a ride on our vintage carousel at this year's International Fete at Caulfield Junior College.  Remember when a simple ride on the humble fibreglass horse was thrilling. The colours, the lights, the music, the rush to get the best horse before someone else does ..... Now we all live in the fast lane,take some time on Sunday 27th November to allow yourself some nostalgia. The vintage carousel is one of a number of rides available at this year's Fete through our friends at Wittingslows. Michael from Wittingslows (Amusements Australia) is the third generation to provide outdoor entertainment to Australia for more than 60 years. Keep your eyes peeled on our Fete blog so you can see what other great things are on offer at the Fete this year.
