Posted 2016-10-31 by Sue Wfollow
If you are driving around Canberra this month, you can't help but notice the colourful signs on the roadside advertising local school fetes and fairs. With Spring in the air and beautiful weather each weekend, it is the perfect opportunity to get out into the community and have some good old fashioned, family fun. On a personal note, our family recently visited our first Canberra school fete at St Francis of Assisi Primary School in Calwell (Tuggeranong) and we were astounded at the turnout. Hundreds of cars lined the roadways and the school grounds were full of markets, music, large carnival rides and dodgem cars. Fetes have gone "super-sized" since my own childhood years and it is a fun, all day event for the whole family.

November seems to be a particularly busy month, so let's get straight to the list so you can mark the dates on your calendar. Now that I am hooked, I will see you there!
