All the fun of the fair with a touch of spooks!

Posted on October 30, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

Off to the school fair we went, carrying our contribution for the cake stand…

Halloween cakes

Dan was on the plate smashing…

The girls had a blast (with the highlight for Charlotte being a ride on the back of the Head Teacher’s motorbike around the school field!):

Motorbike ride

The crowds gathered for the food, coffee, live music and bar. Children lined up for the bouncy castle, face-painting, henna tattoos, lolly-leis and the petting zoo.

School fair

The community gathered and shared simple fun for a good cause and smiles were easy to come by.
