The Surfside Primary School Fresh Food Fair is returning for an afternoon of fun activities and good food.
The school will host market and student art stalls, face painting, fresh food, live music, rides, farm animals, games and a silent auction from 3.15pm to 7.30pm on Friday, November 3.
Organiser Stacey O’Keefe said students from grades three to six and their families have been helping prepare for the fair.
“The fair is our school’s major fundraiser, and it provides all the funds to run our kitchen and garden program for all the students,” she said.
“The kids and their families have been making curries, soup, brownies, pancakes, cakes, and they’ll make up the hamburgers next week for the BBQ.”
Ms O’Keefe said the school’s kitchen had been “buzzing” over the last fortnight and that the students and their families were looking forward to attending the fair.
“They’re really proud and lots of the families are also quite proud, so they come along and help with the working bees and the running of fair,” she said.
“Families are more than welcome to come along to the fair, and it doesn’t have to just be Surfside community, we extend the invitation to the whole community to come and enjoy it.”
The Surfside Primary School Fresh Food Fair will take place at Ocean Grove’s John Dory Drive and will require a gold coin entry donation on the day.
