Welcome to the
Helensburgh Lions Club
Annual Village Fair!

Sat 25th October 2008

Charles Harper Park, Helensburgh - 8am til 6pm

Listen to the music, watch ongoing entertainment, eat some delicious food, Christmas shop around our variety of market stalls, have fun on carnival rides, get your face painted - all wrapped up in the warmth and family fun you've come to expect from our annual country fair.

On the Saturday of the Fair, stalls will be active in the park from 8am, with the opening at 10am.

There are some amazing bands and artists taking us into the early evening and there will no doubt be lots to do around town, so be sure to hang around for a very full day of entertainment.

This is the major fund raising activity for Helensburgh Lions, with all monies raised will go to local community projects.

Lion's Fair Grand Parade

As in previous years, the route will run from Frances, down Walker Street, through the roundabout and and finishing at the soccer oval at the bottom of Walker St.

In the past participants have included the Illawarra Scottish Pipers, United Mineworkers Band, Railway Band, vehicles from all our local Fire Services (both Town & Rural), Police vehicles, Surf Life Saving Clubs with their boats, local mineworkers, sporting organisations (such as football, netball & cricket clubs), vintage & classic cars & motor cycles, kindergartens & pre-schools, dancing schools, Girl Guides & Brownies, Scouts & Cubs, military vehicles, local businesses, the Workman's Club, the Bowling Club and members of Pony Club bringing up the rear (for obvious reasons!).  Our record parade stretched for over one kilometre!

You may wish to enter a flat bed truck with a display onboard, an unusual vehicle, your business vehicle (free advertising!) or you may wish to enter a pedestrian display (for example, the dancers and baton twirlers) - the choice is yours.

If you'd like to be part of the parade, please contact Gina Krohn.
