KUCHING: Despite being smaller in scale than the Kuching Festival held last month, the Padawan Fair 2013 will still be an enjoyable affair, assured Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang.

“The quality of the food does not lose out to Kuching Fest, and all the stalls are of good quality.

“In fact, some of the stalls that operated in Kuching Fest will actually be coming to Padawan Fair to continue to give the public good food and good service,” he said in a press conference yesterday.
Altogether, the fair will have a mix of 40 food and drink stalls and 56 trade stalls, ensuring that it will indeed be a jovial event for those who make their way there, he added.

The Padawan Fair is an effort by the council to build closer rapport between them and residents living in its area of jurisdiction, besides encouraging the residents to involve themselves in activities organised by the council.

Those who are worried about the possibility of rain at the fair need not fret, as there are tents and canopies provided for patrons to have their meals and watch entertainment programmes.

“Various entertainment programmes are lined up, a lot of music programmes like a singing competition as well as public karaoke singing for karaoke enthusiasts in Kuching,” Lo said.

He also said famous local singers and singers from Kuala Lumpur will be entertaining visitors at the fair.

Another highlight of the fair, he disclosed, is an acrobatic show that will be held on the last week of the fair from Sept 9 to 15.

Padawan Fair 2013 will be held for a period of one month, starting today until Sept 15 from 6pm to 11.30pm.

Assistant Minister of Public Health Dr Jerip Susil will launch the fair on Aug 23.
The operator for the fair is Embun Kiara Sdn Bhd.
