Spring in Canberra is the season of flowers, Floriade...and fetes.

How I love a good old-fashioned fete with its cake stalls, jams, fairy floss, white elephant stalls, chocolate wheel, raffles, jumping castle, and of course, the all important lucky dips!

With the warmer days now upon us, spring is the time of the year when many schools and churches hold their annual fetes and fairs. For many, these are important fundraising events which volunteers have worked hard all year putting together. One mum I know has been perfecting her scone-baking skills for months in preparation for her child's school's annual fete. Her scones will sell like hotcakes, I'm sure.

Here are some of the many spring fetes and fairs that will take place over September, October and November across the Canberra region. Come along to one or two or three or more, and support your local schools and churches.
