Vanfest is getting closer and they have a great line up this year. If you haven’t got your ticket yet please go online and get one. We need local support of this fantastic event. The enormous benefits to our local retail and hospitality sector are extremely important.
Anzac Day was absolutely sensational last Thursday and our local school children were out in droves. Thank you to all our volunteers in Forbes. We can’t thank you enough for the enormous contribution you make to the fabric of our lives.
You have to take your hat off to the farming community. They just keep on going. It is looking promising for the latter part of the week but we need to keep our rain prayers going.

Have a great week.
God Bless.
Your Mayor
