This year, we are honoured to have Rescue Logs and Shlomit Moria an artist renowned for her monumental wood sculptures, demonstrating wood sculpting live at the festival. Shlomit will be creating a sculpture from chestnut wood that will be auctioned off on the day. Proceeds from the auction will go to the preschool and primary school.
Car parking is available around the oval and is managed by the Ferny Creek Club Scouts. The cost is $5 per car, with proceeds going to the Ferny Creek Club Scouts. If parking around the local area, please respect our neighbours and avoid parking across driveways.
