Kuranda Spring Fair: Enchanted Rainforest

Kuranda Spring Fair: Enchanted Rainforest

Wanted Magicians, Towncriers, Spell Weavers and Tree Huggers

This year we are going to celebrate the Kuranda Spring Fair in a different way. Due to an initial lack of community involvement, a group of stall holders from the Kuranda Original Rainforest Markets decided to put something together for the Spring Fair.

At one stage it looked like this would be the only venue and then the Kuranda Amphitheatre (where the first Spring Fairs were hosted) decided they would support the event by holding the opening night at the understage.

Shortly after that the Kuranda School P&C answered notices in the Kuranda paper with offers of contributions from the school. After consulting with Cathy Harvey from the Information Centre, it was decided that perhaps the parks could be used for non-for-profit groups, so that they could promote their talents and do some fundraising on the Saturday, and others wishing to hold private stalls could approach the markets about doing so over that weekend.

We know everyone is busy, including us, and if we all take on some small part, collectively we can put on an impressive and enjoyable weekend.
