Fair Trade Fortnight 09: Fair Trade Fair in Northmead, Sydney
Come along and join in the fun at the Fair Trade Fair on Sunday, 17 May 2009. Being held during Fairtrade Fortnight, this event will promote awareness of Fairtrade products and where to find them, empowering people to make consumer choices that are ethical and provide a better future for producers around the world.
Last year around 1500 people from our community came along, including our mayor and local MP!
There will be a fantastic range of stalls selling Fairtrade products, such as coffee and chocolate, as well as fairly traded goods such as handicrafts and handmade clothing and children’s toys. Try our sampling table to discover the various Fairtrade teas and chocolates.
Our Fair will also feature live music, fun activities for the kids, and useful information about how you can make a difference for farmers and producers around the world.
There will also be food and drinks for sale, including a range of lunch options. A number of these menu items will highlight creative ways to use Fairtrade food products! Our café area will feature delicious Devonshire teas, and fabulous espresso coffee made by Scott Callaghan, the 2007 Australian Barista Championship. Scott is also a passionate advocate for justice and ethical practices within in the coffee industry.
