The marquees are up, the safety equipment has been delivered, the CFA volunteers are drawing lots for security sleepovers ... now all we need is lovely produce, good weather and loads and loads of visitors!

Here's an article which will appear in tomorrow's paper.

Article on Glenlyon in The Age yesterday

Very nice article by Richard Cornish in yesterday's The Age Life and Style http://www.theage.com.au/travel/six-reasons-to-visit-glenlyon-20130719-2q8pz.html

Thanks Richard.

Here's the program for the Fayre

Don't forget - if you are local you can buy your early bird tickets from the Glenlyon Store - only ten bucks (cf $12.50).

Or you can buy your ticket online (see link on sidebar).

Guest chef demos

Want to know how the experts do it?  Two amazing chefs and a perfectionist will demonstrate their kitchen secrets at the Fayre.

11am       David Willcocks from The Argus Dining Room (Hepburn Springs)
12 noon   Damian Sandercock from the Piper Street Food Co
2.30 pm   Christine Lewis from 65Main (Hepburn Springs)

You might even get to taste, and you'll definitely be able to take home a recipe or two.

Pedal powered juke box

Eat well, drink safely and lose weight at the Fayre.  Don't believe us?

As previous fayre-goers will know, there’s always live music to enjoy during the day.  This year visitors will be able to make their own music.

Thanks to a grant from Hepburn Wind Community Fund we will have a Future Spark power generation trailer on site.  How much power does it take to make music?  We’ll find out on the day when visitors climb on the bikes and pedal madly to make the jukebox rock. 

Come to the Fayre – lots of regular producers, several new ones, great entertainment and cooking demos with Christine Lewis and Damian Sandercock.

Sunday 28 July, 10am- 4pm. Early bird tickets ($10) are available from the Glenlyon General Store and Daryl Wilson in Daylesford.

Golden oldies mix it with newcomers at the Fayre

It is said change is good – and this year’s Fayre sees quite a few changes amongst the food and wine producers.

There will be several new producers showcasing their wares at the Fayre.  Three of Glenlyon’s smallest food businesses -  Saffronopolis, Truly Madly Deeply and Glenlyon Preserves will join together with a pop-up stall.  Saffronopolis, as the eponymous name suggests, will have saffron on sale. How exciting is that? Saffron grown in Glenlyon.  Truly Madly Deeply is producing delicious sweet and savoury biscuits and the most delish ginger cake.  And visitors to the Glenlyon Village Market will know Glenlyon Preserves – seasonal fruits captured in gorgeous jams and jellies.

A decade after Carla and Ann-Marie launched their new Holy Goat cheeses at the Fayre, they return.  This year there’ll be an even greater variety of cheeses to taste and buy.

And given we live in the potato country it’s time spuds make an appearance at the Fayre.  Wonga Style Twisty Potatoes will tantalise your taste buds.

Unfortunately, a couple of regulars won’t be at the Fayre, because the weather caused cropping issues and they don’t have enough product to offer visiting gourmets.
