Helensburgh Country Fair 2011 dates.

The Helensburgh Country Fair is to be held on the 29 October 2011.

I’m looking forward to this years event.

More information will be posted as it comes to hand.

*EDIT 04 August 2011

Charles Harper Park, Helensburgh – 8am til 6pm
Listen to the music, watch ongoing entertainment, eat some delicious food, Christmas shop around our variety of market stalls, have fun on carnival rides, get your face painted – all wrapped up in the warmth and family fun you’ve come to expect from our annual country fair.

On the Saturday of the Fair, stalls will be active in the park from 8am, with the opening at 10am.

There are some amazing bands and artists taking us into the early evening and there will no doubt be lots to do around town, so be sure to hang around for a very full day of entertainment.

This is the major fund raising activity for Helensburgh Lions, with all monies raised will go to local community projects.
