County Lane Fair back by popular request
On Sunday 3rd Novem,ber, Silverstream Lions will again be hosting out Te Omanga Hospice Fundraiser, " The County Lane Fair". The venue is the Riding for the disabled arena on County Lane, off Fergusson drive, and near the golf range.Last year we were able to give the Hospice 10 000 dollars with 7500 dollars being raised directly from the fair. We have already exceeded last years number of stall holders and hope to beat last years funds raised. We cant do this without our wonderful community support. So wet or fine we will be there. and hope you will be too. Ample parking, a gold coin donation entry. Lots for everyone and the atmosphere last year was great. Lots of indoor stalls as well as outdoor stalls . All we need is the community and a prayer for good weather. See you there 10am-3pm see us on FACEBOOK under County Lane Fair.
