A fiesta for families

Locals can enjoy a relaxed festival atmosphere at a family fiesta market hosted by Dinjerra Primary School next month, and maybe even get some early Christmas shopping done at the same time!

Primary welfare officer Carla Elgueta said the students can’t wait for the market event.

“Every year it gets bigger and better so the students are really excited about participating in the stalls and being able to showcase what they’re making,” Ms Elgueta said.

“Each class will put on a stall. They’re quite varied. There’ll be lots of stalls to pique different interests.

Some of the stalls will sell lolly bags, slime, candles and gifts, among other items.

Classes will perform at the event and the teacher’s band, ‘Lost Property’, will also make a guest appearance.

“We’ll have some food trucks as well and a sausage sizzle which will also have some chicken burgers and vegetarian options.”

There will also be carnival games, lucky dips, spin the wheel, a coffee truck, an arts stall featuring students’ works, and a big raffle.

“If people are wanting to donate towards raffle prizes, that would be greatly appreciated,” Ms Elgueta said.

The family fiesta market will run from 4-8pm on Friday 5 December at Dinjerra Primary School, 44 South Road, Braybrook.

“Come support us. It’s a fun afternoon for the community to come see what we’re all about. We’re a very diverse and colourful community,” Ms Elgueta said.

Entry is by gold coin donation. Attendees are encouraged to bring cash, especially coins, as student-run stalls will not accept card payment.
