Special thanks to Amanda Sully and friends who dealt with all the logistics. And to everyone else who contributed in all of your various roles. It could have been chaos. Hope you all had a great day.
Dear All,
Thank you so much for being a part of the Waterworks Harvest Fair. Everyone seemed to have a lovely time and all the stalls were just beautiful!! The entertainment was BRILLIANT thanks to wonderful Morris and Circle Dancers, the lovely choir, baskers and Steptoe & Co (not Son!!!).
It was especially moving to have Auntie Coral an Aboriginal Elder, give a Welcome to Country and bring her stunning shell jewelry – thanks to Coral, Rodney and Sharron.
The Children’s actvities were just fabulous thanks to Jacquie, Matt and the face painters!! All the drinks were delicious and necessary on such a lovely warm day.
All those gems cooking all w/e was a real boon to raising $$$!!
I counted last night and we raised approximately $1,450 in net profit (plus $370 for the Waterworks Bushcare group from the tofu sizzle) with the Fair costing $450 in total. The cakes made $$312.65, Muffins & Cookies $119.55, preserves made $256, raffle $172 and fresh produce and stall commissions $409 and Jonah’s stall $176.
A big thank you to lovely Margaret and all those hardworking people from Sustainable Living Tasmania for helping us make this fair possible.
I am off to the South West Clean Up Beaches trip with Surfrider Foundation on Wednesday for 8 days but hope to have a catch up after that regarding options for a Waterworks Community Garden!!! very exciting.
You are all wonderful people and we feel blessed to live in such a magnificent valley! In particular thanks to Chris and Glenda – it was fun to do the fair. Having long service leave over Summer helped.
Let’s show Tasmania what we can do with reaching our carbon neutral target by 2025!

Hi all,
Just wanted to CONGRATULATE you all for a fantastic job yesterday. It was such a beautiful atmosphere and people were so happy. The main stage acts were wonderful (what a lot of class acts), the workshops sounded excellent – just wish I could have gotten to some! The displays were wonderful, the kids entertainment must have been great ‘cos Calire and Roseanna disappeared for a long time. So well done and I hope you are all feeling pleased and satisfied. And the weather!!!!!!
See you soon.

Hello Amanda, wasnt it a great day, you must have put a lot of effort into things.
I certainly enjoyed myself and Im glad I asked my friend Karen to help as we got rather busy with the basket teaching. Showed a lot of interest and maybe we should be going to some of the schools to do this. The children were very interested. A little boy made a small basket and even had a handle on it. He was thrilled.
Ill certainly come another time, if you ask. and we may have a few people come to our basket get togethers we have happening. Once again congratulations and to many more.

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of this fair – it was brilliant, and such a fine example of what a community event can be. No crass commercialism, junk food, just good clean fun, food and entertainment!!
I hope it becomes a regular event!!1
Cheers and thanks again.

I hope nobody feels under-thanked for their efforts.
The Harvest Fair was the inspiration of Sona Lewincamp, then organised by a small group – including Glenda, Sam, Rebecca, Jane, Sharron and Michelle – and then…. well, about a million people took on varied roles from traffic wardens to child activities.
Too many to thank. ‘Twas a truly group effort.
