ROUNDUP OF THE 2012 FAIR
Yet again the 2012 Ormeau Fair was a resounding success. We were fortunate to have great weather
and our "Mini Ekka" has become one of the year's major attractions of the Northern Gold Coast. We are going from
strength to strength in both the number of visitors and the number of events and stallholders. This has been
largely as a result of Norm Jessen's vision and hard work. Unfortunately Norm has moved away from the area and
though he will still be around to give advice and counsel he will not be as heavily involved in the event as
previously.
The Ormeau Fair is Ormeau Lions' major fund-raising event of the year and as a result of this
success we were able to increase our donations and disbursed nearly $40,000 to charities and local community
groups. In fact, since the start of the fair back in 2007 the Lions Club of Ormeau has made donations of over
$190,000.
Wide range of activities for children and families ...
As your local councillor,
I'm delighted that the 2013 Ormeau Fair will again be held at Brien Harris
Oval.
The Fair is one of the area's annual highlights and Ormeau Lions invite your
participation again this year. I look forward to seeing you over the
weekend as we all enjoy the wonderful program of activities, stalls, competitions
and rides on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of August.
All funds raised are redistributed within the area, and I know you'll join me in
supporting the Lions who give so much to our growing community.
Best wishes
Donna Gates - Councillor Division 1
The History of Ormeau Fair started as a dream and
has grown beyond many people's wildest expectations and now provides a great deal of opportunity for exhibitors and
the Ormeau Lions Club to raise money for the local community. It truly is a
community effort with people from all age groups chipping in to help out to make the fair a memorable
experience.
Children's rides at the 2012
Fair
On this site you will be able to get a good feel for what the fair is about by viewing the
Photo Gallery or checking out the Top Ten Fun
Things to do at the Fair. There is also a great range of kids activities to keep them entertained and off
your hands whilst you check out some of the local talent on the Stage
shows.
Along with the phone kids entertainment we have arranged for Dennis Dingo Dryden to perform his show. Dennis is well known at all the
festivals and shows all around Australia and we look forward to having him perform at the Ormeau Fair.
Remember all monies raised go back into the local community
The Ormeau Fair continues to grow rapidly each year. I am delighted, once
again, to show my support to the Lions Club of Ormeau. I'm sure the Ormeau
Fair will be yet another resounding success in 2013.
Admission and parking is free with two full days of entertainment for the whole
family.
Come along join in the fun and games and show your support to the Lions Club of
Ormeau and the many volunteers who make this event possible.
Remember all monies raised go straight back into the community.
I’ll be spending some time over the two days at the Fair so I might see you
there!

Saturday night for many is the highlight of the show with Fireworks and a free movie session. Bring your deck chairs down and a warm blanket and
snuggle up and watch a movie on the big screen. What a great way to finish the day!
Building Strong Communities
The Ormeau fair has become a community institution that continues to grow rapidly
every year.
This year’s fair will be held on the weekend of 10 and 11 August at the Brien
Harris Oval. This is a fantastic event and I am sure this year’s fair will be
better than ever. The fair promises to be an action packed weekend for the whole
family and I encourage Albert residents get out and support this great event.
I would like to congratulate the Lions Club of Ormeau for organising this special
event where all profits go back into our community.
Bring the family and your friends - it will be a terrific day out. My family and I
look forward to seeing you there.
Mark Boothman MP
State Member for Albert
A huge Thank You goes to the Sponsors and Exhibitors of the
fair as they provide so much support and financial backing to make this happen. Without their assistance the Ormeau
Fair simply wouldn't exist so its with a lot of gratitude the Ormeau Lion's Club says Thanks.
You can find out more About Us (Ormeau Lions Club) and if you
happen to see any of the Ormeau Lions Club green shirts walking around don't forget to say a big Thanks for making
the Fair possible. Without our fantastic volunteers putting in the extra hours,
raising money through Driver Reviver and Sausage Sizzles every weekend none
of this would be possible...
Come along and check out the Incredible RACQ Van
You have to see it to believe it!
Ormeau Fair 2013 will be bigger than ever and make sure you visit the RACQ Van. At 22 metres
long you'll be blown away with what it has inside. It's truly unbelievable. See it for yourself August 10-11 2013
and view the 2013 event program here.
Whilst its nice to recognise the people involved we want you to keep in mind the Ormeau Fair is
all about YOU. Have fun, spread the word and we'll continue to grow our 'mini ekka' into one
of the Gold Coast's premier Social activities.
