“I THINK we were very lucky with the way the weather turned out,” commented Ocean Grove Park president Colin Atkins following the 15th annual Tranquility Fair.
Twenty five degrees was preferable to 41, he said.
More than 5,000 soul-seekers steamed into the park to get mellow, mingle and munch to music.
“We think the numbers were down on last year but it was still a very good year.
“There were about 5,000 but we don’t actually count the smiles (there’s free entry to kids that arrive with a smile) so we’re not exactly sure.
“We thought it was a great day with a great demographic mix of people.
“On one gate people were commenting about how good the improvements to the park were now.
“We had feedback from stallholders saying that the fair was definately in the top ten in the state.”
Give or take a few there were about 120 sites booked this year.
“We had a good mix of stalls.
“We had a new animal farm. We were very pleased with them.
“Once a child had paid to go in they were able to go backwards and forwards throughout the day, which we thought was pretty good.”
