Houghton Valley School Fair: From the team that organised the Houghton Valley School Fair, Karen reports another highly successful event with local and from further afield. Money raised from the community garden stall was $620.00 – which is a record!
“Whatever the financial outcome the day was a lovely community event, with great food, entertainment, and plenty to do for everyone. We were blessed with sunshine, and it really was an excellent day for showing off our school and our valley. Huge thanks to those members of the local community who helped directly, particularly the community garden gang and Andy and Jane who ran the ever popular pottery stall. Thank you also to those people who donated goods, and to all who came and shared the day with us.” – Karen
