The organisers of this year’s Village Fair at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst are staging Kids Day Out for families with small children on Saturday morning 25 September. “Kids Day Out is a free event held on the Charles Sturt University rugby oval for small children and their families on the morning of the Village Fair,” said Ms Alex Leis, a CSU Student Support Officer. “This year we have a baby animal farm, a fire truck and ambulance on display, plus jumping castles, stalls, face painting and the opportunity to meet Dora the Explorer and her cousin Diego.” The jumping castles and face painting are a gold coin donation, with all proceeds from the day, and a donation from the Village Fair committee, going to the Bathurst branch of Riding for the Disabled. The event runs from 10am to 1pm.
