The Crackerjack Family Fair is celebrating 13 years of fun for adults and children with a day that has something for everyone.

The event will take place at the Point Lonsdale Bowls Club on Sunday, March 10, from 8.30am to 1pm.

Steve Tomming is on the Bowls Club’s board of management and said he was looking forward to seeing people enjoying the event’s 13th year.

“We’re expecting to have a lot of people come who are holiday makers because it’s a long weekend, so it should be a big gathering,” he said.

“It’s always been on the nice long weekend on a Sunday, and it is a family fair as the attractions we have are for both children and adults.

“(I’m looking forward to) the inclusion of our fun games for the kids in terms of bowls activities and getting the community to realise that we’re a community club.

“We’ve got games for kids to play, including bowls and mini golf, and we’ve got a gourmet food table, wine bonanza, raffles, bric-a-brac, a food hub, fruit and vegetables, plants, and a spinning wheel.”

The event will also feature a range of books, live music, Devonshire tea, cakes, jams, preserves, and a pooch parade.

Mr Tomming said the event usually attracted close to 1500 people in previous years and hoped for a similar outcome this year.
