« on: March 02, 2017, 10:04:39 AM »
Anyone going to this?

It is on the long weekend (in Vic).

Has anyone been before and if so what was it like?

As far as I know it is the first time. They usually only have the Henty Field Days later in the year. I may go and have a look and then have a feed at the Doodle Cooma Arms pub which has just reopened. That's if I don't end up free-camping at Lake Hume , or camping at Gentle Annie caravan park out of Wang. or at the Lost Trades Festival in Kyneton- decisions decisions.

Mate just told me it was on the news tonight that they have gone belly-up and it is cancelled. Apparently stall holders have paid money too.

This is the story in The Border Mail and it has been all over Facebook yesterday and today. They have gone bust and were still accepting money off people, so now all the stall holders are out of pocket a lot of money.
