THOUSANDS basked in the afternoon sun at the 21st Ocean Grove Primary School Apple Fair last Friday, enjoying a panorama of apple-themed treats.
The smell of sizzling sausages filled the air as fairgoers sampled homemade curries, nachos and more. Children, parents and grandparents alike were moving to the tunes of Andrea Robertson and band, while Junglebeat and The Blueliners played a mix of reggae and jazz well into the evening.
Parent band The Apple Fairies closed out the night playing classic hits to get fairgoers on their feet again.
Youngsters rode on ponies and the Cha Cha, while the older kids took on one of the fair’s new additions: a mechanical bull. Even a few teachers and school principal Darryl Diment had a go at the bull, much to delight of watching students.
The school welcomed its new mascot Pip to the twilight fair, who was soon surrounded by a crowd of excited youngsters.
