Excitement is building for the upcoming Grenfell Gold Fest on September 27th from 10am to 2pm. There are now more opportunities for people to participate in the day; whether it’s trying to crack a stock whip, panning for gold or turning your hand at being a wheelwright. The program is continuing to evolve; and a number of demonstrations have been confirmed. There will be a saddler, wheelwright, pin striping, bodger who makes bush furniture, stock whip maker, blacksmithing, millinery, lace making and gold panning where real gold nuggets will be found. There will be a back to back demonstration where a sheep will be blade shorn, the wool spun into yarn and then knitted into a garment all in one day.
