00:00 Well, people on the ground here were absolutely devastated that the event was cancelled in
00:10 February and it was really important to us that we give back to the community and the
00:16 exhibitors that have been faithful for many, many years and we wanted them to come back
00:21 and feel the love.
00:22 There was a little bit of a change of dates and people work with that and we're very accommodating
00:29 and we've had lots of positive feedback about a garden fest at Christmas so there's that.
00:35 But it was really important that we shared the beautiful space with everybody and we
00:43 just wanted to make it happen again.
00:44 It was very important to me personally as I had to call all the vendors at the beginning
00:49 of this year and it was devastating but we're back.
00:54 We've got Meander Valley Ukulele here today playing for us which is beautiful.
00:59 We've still got the food vans out the back and this is a really busy time of year for
01:05 all the food vans and it's quite an extraordinary little group of people that go around to all
01:10 the events and we're sharing love across the north of the state with a couple of other
01:14 events and I lost a couple of my food vans but the ones out there are absolutely superb.
01:20 We've got Food of the Himalayas, we've also got Just Cats doing a barbecue and they're
01:25 fundraising so it's brilliant.
