Strictly speaking, not a FOGG activity, but one which could not work without the invaluable efforts of FOGG members, including non Halls Gap folk. Once again a successful show. Attendances were down on last year, which we expected as last year there was tremendous interest for the first Spring after the fires, but still satisfactory. However the future of the show is under discussion. How relevant is it? Are we asking too much of a small bunch of volunteers? Can we make it less work while still making it worth visiting? Your feedback is welcome .
Our theme this year was the six seasons of Gariwerd, with once again a delightful mural by Ken Woodcock explaining the six seasons in word and picture. We had over 150 named specimens on display , despite the restricted collection area since the fire, art and craft works, books, children’s activities, excursions, educational displays from the Catchment management Authority, Rock Wallaby Recovery Group, Weed spotters, Threatened Species Group.
