Mayfair
Mayfair 2012 will be on Saturday, May 12th in Rosedale Park. This will be my fourth year as Chair of the event, and I’m determined that we’re going to have an incredibly sunny spring day!
As we get closer to the date, look for details of the “Mayfair’s Eve Preview.” On the Friday evening before Mayfair, plan to bring the family to the park, enjoy the rides, and stay for dinner and a drink in the Beer Garden. It won’t be as hectic as the full Mayfair event on Saturday, and it’ll be a great time to meet up with old friends.
I’m really excited about this year’s theme, “Mayfair at the Movies.” We can’t wait to see the kids in their amazing costumes in the Mayfair Parade! When they get to the park, they’ll be able to walk the Red Carpet in the new Kiddie Zone, and pose with life-sized 2D movie characters!
There will be lots of rides, lots of midway games, and tons of fun. The new layout we worked out with Worlds Finest Shows last year lets us get some of their really big rides into Rosedale Park, without putting heavy machinery onto the soccer pitch. We’re looking forward to a really successful Beer Garden with our friends at Steam Whistle Brewing. And our BBQ crew will have an enhanced “food court” for their Webers burgers, nitrite-free all-beef hot dogs, and other delights.
I know the day will be a big success… It’s the result of a thousand volunteers joining to put on a fun party for the entire community. The proceeds go to Mooredale House, which plays such a big role in the lives of kids and adults in the area.
Mayfair is a wonderful event, and if you have never made it before, try to get there this year. James and I would love to catch up with old friends, so if you don’t see us, just ask around the Baking Booth and someone will know where we are!
Stay tuned for more news…
