Wide Bay Mini Ham Fest

There's an old saying, that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" which is getting balanced by another old saying that "if you want something done, give it to a busy person."

What am I talking about?
The Wide Bay Mini Ham Fest, of course.

Getting the word out amongst the local community, has extended to ALARA and the 4WD clubs, the amateur news services and the local media, that a get-together is being
held just slightly off the beaten track.

Gootchie is roughly halfway between the cities of Gympie and Maryborough in Queensland, nestled in farmland and surrounded by gum trees. A real bush setting, you might say, but still only about 4Km off the Bruce Highway.
The local QCWA hall is the venue with the local ladies participating with a display of handicrafts.

Other community organisations have indicated an intention to participate, as well. With trade and retail tables and the beloved preloved amateur gear, this mini fest promises to be typically amateur, whilst at the same time inviting the non-amateur community to join in the country hospitality.

The hall is wheelchair accessible and the food on offer is being selected to appeal to all palates whilst remembering health needs of different people.

Why the rush? Well this was just an idea 5 weeks before the event date.

Must be off, so much to do and so little time to do it.. see you at the Wide Bay Mini Ham Fest, Saturday 25th July at the Gootchie QCWA Hall, Gootchie Road, Gootchie.

Circle the date on your calendar.
