GRENFELL FOOD HALL: What a success! A huge thank you to the volunteers of the Food Hall who on Friday July 15, assisted the Weddin Shire Suicide Prevention and Mental Wellness Project. Community members, and local businesses teamed up with the Food Hall to provide a brunch for regular attendees and to showcase the amazing community services available in the area for newcomers.
In these uncertain times, the Food Hall not only offers a diverse array of items at reduced prices, but also provides an environment for community members to mingle and connect over a cup of tea or coffee and a bite to eat.
Thanks to local businesses; Mick's Local Bakery, Cowra/Grenfell Meals On Wheels and Unwind for donating sweet and savoury items for the Kindness Brunch and to community members who shared delicious dishes from their own kitchen.

If you have not attended the Food Hall and wish to see what it is all about, you're invited to come along on Fridays from 8am-11am in the Presbyterian Hall.
MEMORIES: The mini-series 1915 was filmed in Grenfell, Bimbi, Quandialla and surrounding areas in 1982 Daryl Rudd said, "This is my legendary father Bill "Snapper" Rudd interviewing Lorraine Bayly whilst the set was at the Schneider's homestead on Bimbi Road"
Scott McGregor, Scott Burgess and Sigrid Thornton were top billing actors in this mini-series. Many of the scenes were shot at the Railway Hotel and in George Street. Grenfell/Quandialla residents along with the Grenfell Town Band were featured as well as Clive Anderson with his bookmaker's bag. If you have not seen it - it is a must. The photo, no doubt, is from the Rudd family collection from when "Snapper" was Editor/Manager of the Grenfell Record.
