Harcourt Applefest to continue......

Eleven people turned up at the Harcourt Tavern for the committee meeting (there were also a few apologies). It was great to see some new faces and new ideas on making the Applefest a continuing event.


The next meeting is on Monday 22nd November, 7:30pm at the Harcourt Tavern.


There are still some activities that need assistance so I've included the full list below:

• Applefest Parade - It would be great to get more of the local businesses to participate.
• Apple Pie Baking Competition - John Brumby is the patron of this event and the CWA may take the running.
• Apple Pie Eating Competition - Jodie Nunn is the reigning champion of this event. I wonder if we can find a man to compete. 
• Permits for road use - Applications need to be submitted up to 3 months prior to the event
• Insurances
• Fund Raising & Sponsorship. Can't start too early on this. Some work has already been done on this by a retiring committee member.
• Programmes & Leaflets. Any aspiring graphic artists and printers are welcome.
• Advertising and PR - including TV, Radio, Press & Social Media
• Harcourt Idol auditions and entries. Will this be broadcast live to the world?
• Cocktail Party after the Art Show. 
• Musical Acts for Saturday Night. 
• Market Stalls
• Food Stalls
• Liquor License
• Pet parade
• The Famous Ferret Race - Someone to help Donna and learn the ropes will be great.
• Amusement stalls
• Power Supply
• Temporary Fencing & Safety Barriers
