Fun galore at Browns’ School fete

JOIN in on all of the fun and excitement at the annual Browns’ School Fete on Saturday 6 September from 8.30am.

It is a must-do event for all families as it’s lots of fun, and a great opportunity for shopping for all sorts of lovely goodies. There’s also an amazing range of yummy food at very reasonable prices.

The first fete was held in 1954, a mammoth event that has always taken place on the first Saturday in September, and is run by the IDC Committee and an army of volunteers, including service clubs, parents as well as many past parents.

“The entertainment always includes something new and exciting and we will have all the favourites as well, such as the zorb balls, a giant slide, bungee trampolines, the rocket, paintball, a train, carousels, shooting games, the bottle bash, sumo wrestling and more,” said Jane Noble, the income development director at the Browns’ School.

All of the exciting stalls such as tombola, Farmer Browns’ Fresh Produce, plants, books, Second-Time-Around, arts and crafts, needlework, toys, and the famous strawberry bar will be available to peruse at this year’s event.

“We would also be so grateful if you would contribute by doing a clear-out, ask all your friends and family too, and send in usable items, such as books, toys, kitchenware, crockery, arts and crafts, knitting wool, appliances and furniture, stationery, and anything else you think may be useful,” said Jane. “The Browns’ School provides a unique opportunity for the holistic development of its special children, enabling them to actualise their potential to the greatest degree possible.”

The school is also looking for residents who are willing to get involved in the fete by making jam, cakes, biscuits, sweets, needlework or artworks to be sold on the day. If you are able to help out in any way, contact Jane, Lyn or Margot on 031 700 6065, during school hours or email idc@brownsschool.co.za.
