The Jimboomba Fair, a fair dedicated to local businessman Kyle Fair, who was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, is coming to town.
The family-friendly fair will be held on Saturday, 7 March at the Hills International College oval and feature live entertainment, market stalls, children’s activities, food vendors and a display of heritage vehicles with involvement from the Rural Fire Brigade.
Director of Moneybags Property, Simone Curtis, the brains behind the fair, said the fair is dedicated to a dear friend of hers who was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
“The fair is dedicated to a great man, friend, father, neighbour and fellow businessman, Kyle Fair, who means a great deal to me and to many others in our community,” she said.
“He is someone who genuinely cares about people and understands the importance of showing up for those around him.”
“Honouring him through something that brings families together and supports others feels like the most meaningful way to recognise the impact he continues to have.”
Kyle Fair is the owner of Trident Electrical – a local business that has supported the Logan community for many years, and sadly due to his diagnosis, he is no longer able to work.
Ms Curtis said proceeds from the event will go directly to the Fair family and to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND).
“Motor Neurone Disease is a devastating illness that impacts not just individuals, but entire families,” she said.
“Supporting both the Fair family and the MND Association means we are helping at both a personal and community level, providing immediate support while also contributing to awareness, support services and ongoing research.”
“This event carries his spirit of community, generosity and connection, and celebrates the difference one person can make.”
Ms Curtis encourages local businesses to get involved in the event.
“Local businesses can get involved by becoming sponsors, hosting a stall, donating raffle prizes or contributing services on the day,” she said.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect directly with the community and align with a meaningful local cause.”
“When local businesses step up together, the impact is powerful.”
Ms Curtis hopes that the fair will become an annual tradition supporting a different family and organisation each year.
