Wodonga Children’s Fair 2014: Stallholder
Date
Sunday, October 26, 2014
Time
10am to 3pm
Location
Wodonga racecourse and showground precinct, Hamilton Smith Drive, Wodonga
Audience
10,000 to 12,000 attendees, primarily families with children aged zero to 12 years
For more than 20 years, the award-winning Wodonga Children’s Fair has been
celebrating our children and recognising the importance of families.
Held in October each year, the Wodonga Children’s Fair is a feature of the
council’s annual calendar and is a free event with entertainment, art, fun and
educational activities.
Wodonga Children’s Fair is open to all families, giving them the opportunity to
spend time together at an event where they can be entertained, informed,
engaged, educated and, most importantly, have fun.
The first fair was held in 1990, was co-ordinated by volunteers and attracted
a crowd of about 200 people. Last year the fair attracted more than 16,000
people.
Each year, the council’s early years and events team is committed to
expanding the program so that it will be bigger and better than ever before
but the objectives stay the same.
• To build a sense of community among children and their extended
families in our city.
• To stage an event that encourages people to visit our city and patronise
our businesses.
• To build on our partnerships with key stakeholders in the early years
and children’s space.
Wodonga Council and Little Me Market will jointly run the market stall
area. Should your stall specialise in hand-made and unique products please
contact Little Me Market to book your stall. Contact details are located
on page four. PLEASE NOTE: Those stalls participating as part of the Little
Me Market agree to Little Me Market and the City of Wodonga terms and
conditions.

Work Method Statement to Wodonga Council by 5pm on Friday, August 29.
