What a day!

The weather gods were benevolent (not a lot of rain), the stalls provided a wonderful selection of produce to eat and drink, Council health and safety officers happy, the police not so happy, punters obviously happy, and the volunteers exhausted.

The Fayre today was a wonderful event.

Can you make the perfect pancake?

Christine Lewis, owner of 65 Main, says she can. And she'll be demonstrating her skills at the Fayre on Sunday at 2.30pm.
This was Christine demonstrating the perfect poached pear last year.

The Age Epicure and Jetstar

The Fayre got a mention in today's Epicure.  They called Glenlyon a blip on the map - hey our town might be a blip but it's a very significant blip!

Jetstar has loaded an item about the Fayre on one of their corporate websites. Looks good - thanks Jetstar.
