Get Involved
The Fair Committee is currently looking for:
Fair Day Crew
Join the community spirit. Fair day will launch the Chippendale Fresh Food Coop. You get the first glimpse of this new shopfront....and get to learn the ins and outs of running a fair.
Bring a friend and prepare to have fun!
In-Kind Support
We are looking for local businesses to share their photocopier and printer. For Chippendale wide notices and program printing (A4 and some A3).
In return we promote your services on letters that go out to every household in Chippendale! Sounds like a good return on investment?

Run A Workshop
Our visitors love workshops! Lined up are artist workshops run by Johnny Romeo for children and adults. We are looking for more!
