A fun-filled success in 2024
“We were overjoyed with how big the crowd was,” says Residential Service Manager Audette Groenewold. “There were people queuing up outside the gate half an hour before the fair started! There was a tremendous feeling of community spirit.”
Residents from Uniting AgeWell’s Aldersgate Village Independent Living Units ran the Devonshire tea stall and sausage sizzle, while members of the Northern Tasmanian Light Horse Troop, turned out in full regalia which enhanced the feeling of old-fashioned nostalgia. Local businesses generously donated prizes of chocolate hampers, massage, cakes and meat vouchers while more than 45 volunteers donned high-vis vests with the slogan “it takes a village”, helping out wherever they were needed.
