The Count Down is on for Homegrown Parkes this Saturday!
The day kicks off at 9.00am with a sausage making demonstration in the Cooke Park Pavilion. Please be seated by 9.00am. No registration is required. Parkes Shire Concert Band will be performing in the Park grounds from 9am and Crop Swap in front of the Green Wall. Crop Swap will run until 11am.
The event will be officially opened at 10am, followed by a fabulous performance from Parkes M & D from the musical Cinderella and the Crystal Slipper.
The Parkes M & D will then provide performances for park entertainment from the Low Stage between 10.30am and 11.30am. Bill Tink will provide a Netwaste workshop in the Pavilion also commencing at 10.30am and WildTalk Snake Bite First Aid demonstration will follow in the Pavilion at 11am.
We welcome Parkes School of Dance to the main stage of the Pavilion between 11.30am and 12.30pm to provide some amazing performances for your viewing pleasure. Please take a seat and enjoy!
Our Noodle Making Workshop commences at 12.30pm in the Pavilion. The Parkes M & D Performers will also be back on the low stage between 12.30pm and 2.00pm.
If that isn’t enough…..we will have a wonderful selection of local and regional food vendors and stallholders.
While all of this is happening, we are thrilled to once again have the most gorgeous animal farm shared by the Barnes family…we also have a free jumping castle, generously operated by the Action Club.
We love being able to bring new workshops to the Homegrown event to provide opportunities for our community to learn about processes and concepts that allow ‘non-experts’ to make, bake and partake on your own turf.
The best thing is….this event is totally free. Our workshops are free, the entertainment is free.
Our goal is to provide as many activities as possible free to the community at Homegrown Parkes because we don’t want any barriers to learning. There are pressures on our households and we want people to learn how they can be producing and processing at home to help cut some of these costs.
Make sure that you keep up to date with any additions and changes at the Homegrown Parkes Facebook and Instagram pages. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
