The first festival was held in 2011 and the event gets bigger and bigger each time it is held. Community groups are invited to have a stall to promote their activities. There will be displays of classic cars, and approximately 40 stalls including a jumble stall, the SES and RFS. Community Champions will have a stall to promote their gardening competition.
Once again Nowra Tilt Tray will provide the stage for the musical entertainment. Sanctuary Point Public School pupils will display their knowledge of aboriginal culture, and KC Dancers will give a presentation. Bay & Basin Radio 92.7 FM will have an outside broadcast. The popular Lions BBQ, coffee and ice cream vans will cater to any appetite.
The winners of the “Happy Ever After” raffle will be announced. From mid-October look out for ticket sellers near the local IGA supermarkets and on Friday nights at The Country Club St Georges Basin.

There will be fun for all ages. For the littlies there will be a jumping castle, alpacas to pat, and a Lucky Dip stall. Firefly have conducted a Poster Competition for 10-18 year olds to promote the fair. Over at the Skate Park, Firefly will hold a TOTEM display and competition.
The charity “Dress for Success” will be having a market day at the nearby BBCRI youth centre so go along and grab a bargain. Proceeds will enable this not for profit to support women to achieve economic independence.
So come along and join the fun.
