That website is the ONLY place thus far I have found this information as of this moment, so if anyone finds any further information or rings through and gets details (or finds that it has been cancelled for some reason) please let us know! If I find any further info regarding it/confirming it I will post it, also.
Also at the Glenrowan Gazette website I read where they are making plans for another Kelly Country Festival for the the first weekend in October 2011.Wonder if there will be another siege reenactment?
Stay tuned!
WELCOME TO ELEVEN MILE CREEK. Thanks for visiting us. We hope to use this blog to bring news, views, nuggets and musings, some serious, some lighthearted, but all to do with all things associated with Ned Kelly.
I saw this bit at the Glenrowan Gazette saying that the Kelly Country Festival for this year is now cancelled:
ReplyDelete"Regretfully, the Kelly Country Festival committee has decided to cancel their plans for the 2011 Kelly Country Festival.
There is no shortage of ideas for this festival and recently quite a bit of funding has also been obtained, but due to unforseen workload and also illness together with a shortage of people coming forward in support of the event, the purposed festival could not go ahead this year."
