Town Faithful
The Town biennially hosts its Town Faithful celebration to acknowledge residents who have lived, loved and thrived in the Town for 50 years or more. It is a time to celebrate members of the community who have played an important part in shaping the Town into what it is today.
Who are the Town Faithful
The Town maintains a list of those who are known to it as long-term residents of 50 years or more. Please note that these don't need to be consecutive years, but 50 and over years residency in total.
What happens at Town Faithful
The event typically features a morning/afternoon tea with delicious refreshments and live music. Previous attendees have said that it was a wonderful time to share memories and stories of days gone by, to catch-up with old friends and make new ones too. Historic photographs from the Library's Local History collection are also displayed and the Mayor regularly attends.
