Salvos plan annual fair

The Salvation Army will hold its annual fair on Saturday, November 3, from 8am until 2pm in Umina.

Salvation Army Umina Beach Fair project coordinator Mr Hans Schryver said the fair would be a day when the community could come together to have fun.

"We will be having market stalls, arts and crafts, jams, Devonshire teas and food.

He said there would be fire engines from Empire Bay Rural Fire Services and from Fire and Rescue NSW and a simulated kitchen stove fire.

A Crime Unit from the NSW Police Force would also attend.

Other attractions included face painting, clowns, temporary tattoos, jumping castle, ice creams, balloons, music by C'est la vie and Jake Cassar, and didgeridoos, said Mr Schryver.

The Salvation Army Umina Beach pastors Lieutenants Dean and Rhonda Clutterbuck highlighted that the importance of having a fair was to help those who needed help on the Peninsula and also help to create a sense of community.

The fair will be located at The Salvation Army property at 9 Sydney Ave, Umina.
