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.
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.
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.
