Jenny’s Gallery, Out of the ordinary Outback, and more

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 26/Feb/2018 - 8:30am

Hello all,

A big thanks to Fiona for so capably filling in for me last week. Thanks Fe. And we still don’t have a lot happening yet. As Fiona said last week, the big event is “Woodstock in White Cliffs” next Saturday, all for a very worthy cause if you can make it. Now just in case you’re down Wentworth way, you can enjoy a “Family Night on the Darling”, also next Saturday at Wentworth. And you will enjoy it as they put on great shows down there.

Then again, if you’re up Bourke way, drop in to Jenny’s Gallery, or the Information Centre and you’ll be welcome and given heaps of things to go and see.

Broken Hill by any chance? Then go and see Jenene at “out of the ordinary Outback” in Argent St. They have heaps of places to go, tours they will take you on and look after you.

I’m going to try and do a sort of calendar of events for the year next week, so we may be able to avoid clashing with each other, can happen! For example, The Bi annual Agfair Field Days are on in Broken Hill on the 4th and 5th. May. The Louth Field Day is on Saturday 9th. June and our big Field and Fun Day here in Wilcannia is the next day, Sunday 10th. June. (Long Weekend.)

Hello all,

Once again I’ve found one of my contacts dropped off, sorry about that Jenny. If anyone is not getting this email please let me know. ---Yes I know, just joking.

A wee bit happening, big night in Cobar on the 17th. next Saturday at the Golfie. “Night in Vagas”, it’s a fundraising night for a great cause, be there if you can.

Then the next weekend it’s all happening at Silverton. A Country Music weekend, Friday night and Sunday. Buy 1 ticket to cover both days and have a ball.

The weekend after that is another big fundraiser at White Cliffs. “Woodstock in White Cliffs” at the sports ground on the 3rd. March for a good cause.

Lots of visitors to our little town, radio stations to listen to

Hello all,

Hope you are all resilient enough to cope with me again for another season.

Funny thing, I’ve seen more travellers through our little town this summer than ever before. Seems the dormant period is starting to close in.

Now I don’t have heaps of activities to report to you as I have to do my homework! So please feel free to rattle the keyboard and let me know what’s doing in your neck of the woods.

I do know Peter and Patsy have a Country and Western weekend coming up this month, and my apologies to you both for your email dropping off. Had a great hour or so out at Silverton recently, if you make Broken Hill, then Silverton is a must!

I would also ask you all please to send any of your brochures through to us here in Wilcannia so we can spread the word for you all.
