Hope School Country Fair at Alert Level 2
Hi folks, Hope School Country Fair is ON!
Saturday 25 September
11am - 2pm (three x 1 hour sessions)
Hope School, 316 Paton Road, Hope
Rain or shine / Alert Level 2 or 1 :-)
At Alert Level 2 we are restricted to 100 visitors on site, so we are offering free tickets via Eventbrite for timed sessions at 11, 12 and 1 o'clock. You must have a ticket to enter, so that we can keep track of numbers. There is a link below to order your tickets.
There will be viewing of our Silent Auction (note all auctions will be run on Trade Me #hopeschool, closing on the evening of Saturday 25th), plant sale, baking, produce, preserves, sausage sizzle, takeaway cafe, firewood raffle and some socially distanced entertainment. Please come along and support our little school. We're raising money for STEAMS resources.
If you aren't able to come along but would still like to support the school, we have a givealittle page where you can make a donation. All details will be on our Facebook page, including links to the raffles and Silent Auction, which will all have an online option. Thanks for your support!
