Things are starting to get back to normal and one of the staples on the Ocean Grove calendar, the St Peter’s Anglican Church annual fair, is on.

The usual stalls and goodies will be on sale with something on offer for the entire family.

“With great excitement the people of St Peter’s are planning their annual fair,” one of the organisers, Bob Fraser said.

“Of course it will not be quite the same as in the past, but we are very grateful to be able to come together with the community and celebrate a re-opening of our activities.”

Saturday, November 13 will see stalls around the church.

There will be a large plant stall, stocked with a huge variety of vegetable seedlings and general garden plants.

The ever-popular sausage sizzle will serve hungry fairgoers and there will be a super stall selling jigsaws, CDs and DVDs.

In the narthex or foyer of the church will be a huge craft stall with things for children as well as adults. Hand-made Christmas cards will sell fast and the flower stall has returned.

At the rear of the church buildings will be the famous St Peter’s cake stall stocking sponges, cakes, biscuits, slices. A homemade bread stall will be featured this year.

Jams, pickles, relishes and other preserves will be there to tempt you and for parents looking for teacher presents, there will be small gift baskets of preserves all ready to go.

Christmas hampers will be raffled or you could win a beautifully decorated Christmas cake.

The fair, at the church on Draper Street, is on Saturday, November 13, from 9am to 1pm.
