Mareeba Anzac Fair A Social and Fundraising Success

The Anzac Fair organized by Mareeba musical union and Red Cross volunteers drew strong crowds and rapid sales with stalls selling out by 10 p.m. Funds reached about forty pounds. Highlights included the Anzac Stall with recruiting posters, nurses in costume, and a busy flower and refreshment area. The event featured songs, dances, tableaux, and lantern slides, with performances by the Junior Juveniles and Miss Mina Colquhoun’s group. Easter festivities and weddings followed, as well as a Wattle League social. Diphtheria outbreak remains limited, with Dr. Millet managing cases.
