Festival on show

It is now even easier to access information in relation to this year’s Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Festival.
Besides regular updates in the Southern Free Times, the Festival Showroom has now opened, allowing a convenient location for residents and visitors alike to make enquires about the festival.
Located at the corner of Maryland and Railway streets, the showroom is your one-stop shop for anything to do with this popular festival.
Festival secretary Jenny O’Connor said the showroom was extremely important to the festival’s success as it provided easy access to the latest information about the event.
Anyone wanting to help by volunteering at the festival can now register their interest at the showroom.
There will be plenty of activities held during this year’s event on March 2-4 including a celebrity grape crush, grand parade, fireworks, street stalls, multicultural food and entertainment plus much more.
The festival caters for all ages.
If you haven’t had a chance to meet the six Young Ambassadors yet, get down to the Stanthorpe Show.
The Young Ambassadors will be appearing at the show’s Grand Parade at 4.30pm tomorrow as well as the Fashion Parades at 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
