Des Ugle Christmas Fair coming up

This year’s Friends of Des Ugle Park Christmas Fair is set to be the biggest one yet.

This year’s event runs from 11am-4pm on Saturday November 25 at Des Ugle Park in Withers. It will feature food trucks, ice cream vans, vegan and soul food, live music, a bouncy castle, laser tag and much more.

It will also be a great opportunity to pick up some novelty Christmas gifts from the market stalls.

There will be a free sausage sizzle manned by Apex, and tea, coffee, cordial and cold water distributed by the Salvation Army – not to mention a free tractor train and bouncy castle for the kids.

Hudson Road Family Centre will be set up for the day with activities for kids including writing letters to Santa.

The Withers Progress Association Inc., who are auspicing for and assisting Friends of Des Ugle Park to organize the event, are still seeking volunteers to help set up and break down chairs and marquees on the day.

“This is the fair’s 22nd year, and it’s something of an institution,” Withers Progress Association Inc. Chair Mary Dunlop said.

“We believe it’s crucial in the community. It’s a free event. We have some supporters in the community, but it’s still hard work to get it going – some new volunteers would be fantastic.
