You are assured of great entertainment with two special guest artists of Garry Hollier and Barry Joseph from Dubbo.

We have had them previously and the audience was captivated with their harmonious presentation.

The Mother’s Day Muster was greatly attended with guest artists Alan Ford and Melanie Harris from Orange and Charmaine Pout from Forbes.

Stephen R Cheney arrived unannounced and added to the already great afternoon.

We are also gearing up for our 50th year of Country Music in Parkes on the long weekend in October.

If there is anyone with memorabilia of any kind, paper cuttings, photos or records – our record in 1973 would be a great find.

Does anyone remember the Jamborees previous to the Festival on the long weekend.

Have you any photos of this or the street parade to start.

If you do you can contact any of our committee members.

We have already had some acceptances come in for the Reunion on Sunday, October 1.

So it is not too early for interested people to reply with the fee.

Let your relatives and friends who have left town know about this.

Many well known artists will be attending this weekend.

Hope to see you all on Sunday, and remember the members draw has jackpotted nicely.
