After a hiatus of many years, this event took place on Saturday 17 September 2011. The atmosphere was festive, the weather balmy and the crowd wonderfully expectant. Stallholders displayed their wares and satisfied the hunger of the masses. Music was siphoned from the Coke monstrosity and two soccer matches entertained the sport-loving few. 
Two jumping castles provided much needed distraction for the little ones, while their parents sauntered through the crowds. There were, however, a few overgrown infants who bounced their boredom away.
The entertainment was crowd-pleasing - from Hip-Hop dancers to Mr and Miss St Thomas and Mr Port Elizabeth. The learners were dressed in their finery with one outfit trying to upstage the next and, of course, few missed the opportunity to be immortalised on memory cards. Facebook will be under siege with the deluge of various images, showcasing potential catwalk stars.
A rather croaky MC kept the crowd informed and even attempted a few dance moves. Fortunately his voice did not allow him to break into song, thankfully. The Dee Jays (Spectrum and Swisha) kept the beat going throughout the day.
It turned out to be a rather pleasant affair. The food was good, the atmosphere electrifying and the crowd well-behaved. This will most certainly become an annual event, which will grow through its popularity.
