Fair draws crowds from afar

MACIE Elliot took a look at the dolls cots, which are always snapped up early in the day, at the Christ Church Tooradin’s Annual Craft Fair last month.
Held at the Tooradin Community Centre on Saturday 16 November, the annual event, which has been running for 110 years, attracts a huge crowd from far and wide each year for handcrafted goods.
The event is somewhat of a ritual in the town, with members of the church hosting the first fair over three days in 1903 to raise money to pay off the debt of the church that was purchased in 1900.
It has been held ever since due to its success and remains the biggest fund-raiser for the church today. 110253
