He is as cute as a button and very much loved
Grenfell Speed Shear: Congratulations to all connected with this event. A fantastic day and evening was had by all. It was amazing to see the capabilities of these skilful men and YES women. Kat Glaessens from Belgium currently working in Grenfell was a placegetter in one of the grades and certainly kept the crowd entertained.
Another great event was the demonstration of blade shearing. If you missed this great event, I believe a demonstration of blade shearing will be held on the Saturday of the Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival in June.
Whilst this Speed Shear competition event was entertaining for the older members of the community, the Grenfell Lions Club were kept very busy with a multitude of younger children on their famous jumping castle. Even when it was time to pack up the children were on hand to assist with the dismantling of the castle.
Happy Easter: Best wishes to all families for a happy and holy Easter. If you are travelling please drive carefully, remember double demit points are in effect over this weekend as well.
As it is also school holidays many more children will be out and about – hence another reason to be extra careful.
Welcome to all visitors, enjoy your stay.
