2009 was a huge success with something to do for all the family and look forward to another successful event in 2010.
A big thank you to all the volunteers including the committee who help to organise the festival and to the volunteers who help on the day, without our volunteers the festival would not go ahead, also a big thank you to Dick Adams MP who has sponsored the printing of our program for the last few years. We acknowledge the huge sponsorship contribution to the festival by local businesses and Southern Cross Television for their wonderful support in advertising since 2000.
