Fete 

The Great Lee St Fete is Back on March 26th 2023!

Craft Stall

Bored over the holidays?  Want to do something creative?

Why not make some craft for the 2023 Lee Street Fete Craft Stall?

Putting the word out that need some crafty donations for our Craft stall at the 2023 fete.

We love all things handmade by our community - school kids, parents, aunties, uncles, grandies, friends and friends of friends!

Not sure what to make?  Here are some crafty ideas to inspire you:

We will be collecting crafty contributions when school starts next year.

Jams and Preserves

With the long summer break ahead of us, and cheap fruit and vegetables all around, now is the time to start making your preserved goodies for next year’s Fete. It is also the perfect time to hold on to empty jars (with lids), and bring them into school for others to collect and fill.  We have a box waiting for you now, it's in front of the office window (just under the ledge).  Small to medium sized jars are best.

• Jamming and preserving is easy.  If you are unsure what to make, send me an email and I will send you some suggestions
• The last time the Fete was run there were requests for more chilli items, more pickles and more classic berry jams.
• If you are getting started early, please ensure your produce is well sealed and won't expire before the Fete.
• Remember to sterilize your jars.  There are many easy methods, usually a bit of boiling and oven time.

Toys

Are you a plant lover?

We need your help!! We are planning for a beautiful lush plant stall at the Fete next year and need…lots of plants! If you, or someone you know, is able to cultivate some clippings or seedlings between now and March, please get your green thumbs into action.

We’d love any type of greenery:

Indoor plants

Outdoor plants

Natives

Flowers

Edibles (herbs etc)

Other items we could also use include:

Plant/gardening books to donate

Unused empty decorative pots

Unopened packets of seeds

Worm tea from worm farms (or jars to collect worm tea)

White clothes rack/hanger for hanging pots

Plant stands 

Rattan chairs/table to borrow for the stall

If you happen to be a crafty type, as well as a green thumb, why not try to whip up a few macrame hangers to go with your beautiful pot plants. 

Thanks in advance for your green help!

We have had so many new faces join the existing fete crew, thank you so much to all these wonderful people giving their time to our fabulous community event. There are still some key roles to fill, we would love to hear from you if you are interested to volunteer of one of these roles, or grab a friend and do it together! We can provide lots of support as you need it and you’ll have plenty of volunteers on the day. 

• Run the BBQ  – don an apron, grab the tongs; if you love to BBQ this could be the role for you. Always well-supported by a team of keen volunteers.
• Devonshire Tea – *a brand new stall* - it’s sure to be a hit and you can make it your own (top tip - it’s inside out of the weather). 
• Slushies – manage the slushy stand, it’s an easy role and a Lee St kids favourite!
• Sustainability co-ordinator – an ideal role for someone passionate about our school’s contribution to a sustainable future (working across the fete helping us all keep sustainability top of mind). 
• Marketing / communications – prefer a role you can do behind your desk? If you don’t have the ability to do a hands on role, but can write copy regularly in the background, this is a good one. Also frees you up on fete day. 
• General admin – again a good one for someone who wants a role they can do at home / work and has a bit of spare time to do basic organisational admin. 
• Graphic design – anyone with design skills could manage this role, mainly requiring updating to existing marketing collateral and some social tiles, etc. 

Let Gaby know at the office if you are interested in any of these roles. 

Requests for volunteers (for stalls, set up and pack up etc) will be posted early next year. If you can’t do a key role, have a think over the summer about where you might like to volunteer on the day or in the lead up. 

The Lee St Fete needs all hands on deck!
