Another year and another great success because of YOU! Thank you for the wonderful start to the 2008 Blackburn Hamlet Fun Fair! It is always a pleasure to see Blackburn residents enjoying this annual community event.
Blackburn Hamlet residents contribute to building a peaceful community based on mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship and solidarity. These are the ideals and values that continue to make Blackburn the wonderful family community that I am proud to be a part of!
This year marked the 39th anniversary of the Blackburn Hamlet Fun Fair. The Fun Fair is a product of the tireless energy of our residents: some of whom are the original founders of the Fun Fair, others are the children of the original residents, several of whom stumbled upon the community while others were brought in through friendships. No matter how you came to reside in the community, you have become a neighbour, friend and most importantly a future volunteer. Future Fun Fairs need your time and effort in order to continue to be successful. We owe this to the original residents, our community and our children.
We want to thank all the volunteers and local businesses for their boundless energy, enthusiasm and support.
We want to thank all the people who have come out to enjoy the event. See you next year for our 40th Anniversary of the Fun fair!
