Sea Fair is just two years away from celebrating 50 years in the community.

Sea Fair is just two years away from celebrating 50 years in the community. This is an impressive milestone that is a testament to the selfless determination of its organizers, many of whom have agreed to keep the event afloat until 2013 despite their wishes to pass the torch to a younger generation.

Past presidents, chairs, secretaries and volunteers of recent years have returned in various capacities to ensure that this long-standing community tradition carries on for the short term, but they can’t do it forever.

Sea Fair’s existence beyond its semi-centennial anniversary remains seriously in question without the initiative of some new volunteers and a set of fresh faces on its organizing committee.

Sea Fair draws thousands of children, youth and young adults to Willingdon Beach every July. If even a few among the crowds this weekend can realize the need for their input and assistance, the event will be there for future generations to enjoy.
