Thank you to everyone for your ideas on a fair name. In a recent PAFA meeting the name was put to a vote and it was decided that our fair will be called festiValley. This name will be familiar to some of you from an event held at the school in the past. The fair will not be a repeat of the first festiValley. However, people loved this name for our fair as it reflects our fair vision and the original festiValley captured the feelings of community and celebration that the fair aims to inspire.
It was also decided that festiValley will consist of 3 parts:
1. Opening of the Art Exhibition Friday night 27 August
2. Fair Saturday 28 August noon until twilight
3. Performance evening Saturday night 28 August.
Extending into the night will help us to tap into the magic of an evening event. It will also provide the opportunity for us to be entertained, to relax and share a meal with friends and family after a busy but fun-filled fair.
Jan Baker-Finch has kindly offered to help to develop and coordinate this performance evening.
It is the intention that the name festiValley, the 3-part structure and the date (last weekend of August) will be constant each year, however each element of festiValley may grow or evolve.

Wondering ... what type of stalls are present? what type of entertainment? food? mini-workshops? are there any photos that encapsulate the event previously? or any written articles in the Westerner that I could perhaps read?
