Quote:East Melbourneâs Festa
A wonderful day of community spirit was clearly evident on an autumn Sunday, March 25 in Powlett Reserve.
After years of planning by the Festa Committee of Management, Faye Humphris (Chair), and her team were overwhelmed by the high attendances on the day.
To the delight of the crowd, children danced to the sounds of the marvellous Police Show Band while community groups worked feverishly in their food stalls attempting to feed the multitudes of people who turned up on the day.
Throughout the day, Jeff Richardson was kept busy running the full program of entertainment. Politicians and councillors were there and Ted Baillieu, State Opposition Leader, even joined in with the Sing Australia choir.
Dogs turned up in their droves for the âBig Paradeâ and our local school students from St Johnâs showed their musical talents in concert.
However, the success of the day would not have been possible without essential funding from the City of Melbourne and the management support of âEvents Melbourneâ.
During the opening, Faye Humphris thanked Events Melbourne officers Merlyn Hutchinson and Jacqui OâToole for all their hard work. Cr Peter Clarke officially opened the Festa and formally acknowledged all the local groups who had made the effort to participate with such community spirit.
Organizers also acknowledged the generous support of local traders and businesses, in particular Dingle Partners, National Bank, Laundry Mutt and Toucan Digital Display Solutions.
