A good time was had by all... |

| Such a great time! | The Labor Day weekend has passed, and the 52nd Myrtleford Festival was wonderful.
Thursday's Arts Prize opening was a great success, with the talented Steve McCall taking the $2000 first prize for his painting 'Spring Growth, Mt Buffalo'. The first step in turning the Arts Prize into a premiere regional art exhibition has been taken!
Equally successful was the Photography Exhibition, held at Reign of Pearls Tea Rooms & Gallery. Over a hundred entries went on display, including winning works by Kevin McGannen, Mark Slater and Barbara Ridley.
Saturday's Mountain H20 Street Party was hugely popular, thanks to an enormously talented line-up of entertainers, supported by the fabulous Market & Rotary Parade, and our wonderful, sunny weather! The Street Party hosted numerous visitors from all over Victoria & southeast NSW, and general opinion was that this was one of our best Festival Saturdays!
Sunday's program of events was enormous, starting with the Rotary Breakfast in the Park, which provided meals for riders in the Rostrevor Family Bike Ride & the Moto 2012. The sight & sounds of so many bicycles & motorbikes streaming out of Rotary Park were inspiring.
Sunday's new Cotters Market was simply fantastic, with lots of stalls nestled among Jubilee Park's shady trees. And of course there were tours, walks, dog shows, tai chi, bocce, footy, art & photography shows and the Embroidery & Flowers Exhibition.
If you missed this Festival, you missed a lot. So come on, get to Myrtleford for the 2013 Festival - and love the life!
