Well we did it again :) Another Harvest Festival has been held. It was a huge success financially, but, especially as far as enjoyment goes, it was fabulous. There were so many interesting things to do and see, and great people to chat with and learn about amazing things.

We had ( in no particular order)

  • music
  • pizzas from our pizza oven
  • a sausage sizzle
  • lemonade stand
  • a raffle
  • cuppas and cakes
  • produce and flowers
  • plants
  • garden tours
  • cooking demonstrations
  • solar oven information
  • BREAZE and Ballarat Permaculture Guild stalls
  • Lucky Dip
  • Story Telling
  • Fruit Salad

(Please forgive if I have inadvertently left anyone out – please use our contact form or ring a committee member to get the list amended)

A photo gallery of images will be coming soon. And don’t forget the survey

The hamper raffle was won by Vanessa, one of the musos who so kindly donated their time.

Overall, we raised in the vicinity of $4,000 towards our club room project.
