Mary Tholet, who runs the fete hut, said she was thrilled with the turnout for the fete’s hut despite the rain.

“We are still very happy. Even with the rain we managed to raise over R3 000, which will go straight towards our seniors’ Christmas lunch,” she said.

Adding to the regular fete fun, Neethi Chetty and her team served up delicious food, sold spices and entertained the residents and community members with fun raffles.

Tholet also extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the event.

“As always, a big thank you to the community and our team for another successful fete. Your support means the world to us as seniors,” she said.
