Can you believe it is Easter already, in just a blink of an eye. Our beautiful community has, as always, organised an Easter weekend that is jampacked of goodies. We have the Big Bowls Carnival being held Friday through to Sunday, the popular Easter Festival at Nelson Park on Saturday morning (and who could forget one of the biggest egg hunts I have ever heard of)! On Saturday the Falcon 4WD Owners Group will be on show at Lions Park, and whilst there, call in to the Rotary Ipomoea markets.
If that’s not enough, take advantage of the cooling weather – go camping, go fishing – better yet, why not check out the newest installation on the Lachlan Sculpture Trail. ‘Between the Silence and the Heartbeat’ by Clancy Warner. Magnificent, and with a truly poignant message behind its imposing presence.
Speaking of our wonderful town, keep an eye out on television media for the beautiful Come Out, We’re Open regional campaign, in which Forbes definitely features!
Please do be mindful on the roads these Easter and school holidays. We want you to arrive alive, and NSW Police will be out in force to make this a reality.
I was excited last week to launch this year’s Frost and Fire at the Forbes Ski Dam. This event keeps growing in popularity, and sells out quickly so I urge you to make sure you get your tickets early at 123tix.com.au.
Enjoy your week, and God bless. May this Easter bring you lots of joy, happiness and blessings in your life.
