The main objective of this Fair will be to ensure that everyone present has an enjoyable time as well as to raise funds for the infrastructure needs of the College. ‘Thomian Fairs, over the years have acquired a reputation for being well organized and patronized events providing high class entertainment to all age groups and we are sure that this year’s event will be better than the previous fun fairs organized by the OBA’ said Dr. Vijaya Corea.
It is commendable that at a number of top end corporate companies and business in Colombo have joined hands with the OBA of STC in ensuring that a memorable fun fair is made available for all patrons expected to throng the College Grounds on all three days. The Thomian Fair will be powered by Dialog as the Platinum sponsor, and in keeping sync with the brand promise of The Future. Today, the crowds are guaranteed a unique experience with the Interactive Dance Station and the groovy music of Colombo’s hottest DJs.
The fun fair will include a wide variety of fun events such as the Galaxy, Roller Coaster and other rides. To ensure that everyone has a great time, the organizers will set up 2 Merry-Go-Rounds a Giant Wheel and other fun rides that will provide non stop entertainment for everyone present. The College Stamp Club together with the Postal Department will have a Stamp Exhibition at the Fair.
