A parade of flags accompanied by a Scottish piper will open this year’s June Faire at The
British Home on June 5th. Admission to the Faire is free and everyone is invited to come
along and enjoy the fun from 10 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. on Saturday. The beautiful grounds of
The British Home provide a perfect setting for the Faire, which is the major fundraising
event held at the Home each year.

There will be plenty of booths, entertainment and refreshments to keep the whole family
busy. Live entertainment includes a display of Scottish dancing which will be followed
later in the afternoon by a group of Irish dancers. This year there will be a Giant Slide
and a Sticky Wall to keep children of all ages happy.
A variety of booths set on the lawns of the Home will be selling art work, bric-a-brac,
books, garden plants, birdhouses, cards and lots more. There will also be plenty of
refreshments available including Victorian style tea by the fountain on the patio as well
as English bangers and hotdogs cooked on an open air BBQ. Home-baked goods such as
Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, shortbread, lemon curd, cakes and other British food will
be on sale too.
The British Home is a non-profit, licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly,
which has been providing personalized care to its residents for over 78 years. Seniors of
all nationalities, races and religions are welcomed into the Home which is located at 647
Manzanita Avenue, Sierra Madre.
