ALL SMILES: Daphney and Tarryn Els and Trixie-Belle Nicolle enjoy the sun at the Lonehill Village Fair.

The free-roam style fair was organised by THINK Community and was aimed at creating a platform for local businesses to take their services directly to the Lonehill and Beverley homeowners.

Trevor Nel of THINK Community said he was happy with the turnout and that he was encouraged to organise more of these types of events for the community.

“We had about 500 people walking through the stalls every hour. This is a great response from the community,” he said.

Businesses at the fair included massage stalls, cancer support groups, cupcake stalls and furniture stalls among many others.

WHAT’S UP DOC?: Chris Olivier, Kim and Ian Lucas, Susan Elder and Barbara and Daring Bhadais of the CanSurvive Cancer Support Group.

GREEN TEAM: The Nedbank stall was manned by a spirited team comprising Sibusiso Nkosi, Bongani Khaba, Joyce Motoai, Rosina Phadi, Tshepiso Mangena, Lucia Mdala, Floyd Hlungwani and Rebotile Ramokgopo.

SUGAR CHEF: Ashley Drummond displays her colourful cupcakes with a smile.

SUCCESS: Councillor John Mendelsohn with Trevor Nel, Bruce Good, Paula Quinsee and Sandi Brown of THINK Community.

OUT AND ABOUT: Tarryn, Brian and Lauren Samaai enjoy a day at the park.
