There is nothing quite like a country fair – especially when it comes to the food, fun and family entertainment to be had! The 2015 Carlsruhe Country Fair, to be held at the historic Carlsruhe School House in November is the perfect opportunity to soak up some genuine country spirit with activities ranging from working dog demonstrations and a pony club display to a treasure hunt, ‘veggie man’ competition and old-fashioned games. Other highlights include a Light Horse display, trackless train rides, a lolly hunt and musical entertainment from a capella singers Miranda’s Picnic. Arts and crafts activities include wool spinning and woodwork. Quality market stalls offering home-made jams, cakes, plants and specialty foods including wood-fired pizza will ensure there is something for the whole family to enjoy. The Carlsruhe Country Fair is an event run by Woodend Primary School to showcase its historic rural campus and raise funds for the school. This beautifully treed halfhectare property about 8km north of Woodend includes the original red brick classroom, mud brick poultry pen, large fenced vegetable garden, a small orchard, a playing oval and two paddocks for the farm animals. Don’t miss this chance to soak up the country atmosphere in a beautiful rural setting. Stallholders interested in having a stall at the market please contact the school on 5427 2455.
