Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive 2013
“I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where ‘will’ the children play?”
– Cat Stevens
We had a great run holding our annual family outings at the Diana Garden Resort and Driving Range in North Pattaya, but now after 11 years, it has come to an end. The driving range has been rented to a Japanese consortium, which has already seen an upgrade to the facilities.
After receiving a courtesy call from Diana management about the transition, of course, we were taken aback, but then we also appreciated their candor. We thanked them deeply for hosting our Fairs for over a decade and presented them with a certificate expressing our gratitude.

We know it will not be easy finding another venue like theirs, and given the ubiquitous construction going on in city these days, it probably means having to look afar beyond the city limits.
So presently we have a date for the Fair on Sunday, September 8th, but not a venue. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures from good times gone by.

The bouncy castle, shown here in 2006, is always a big hit.
Thanks for making us smile kids in 2002.
