Join us for the 13th annual Collector Village Pumpkin Festival
Sunday 1st May 2016
10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Free Car Parking via George Street
Huge Country Market
Over 120 market stalls and attractions will line Bourke Street from the Collector Oval to “Pumpkin Square” alongside the Memorial Hall making for a colourful scene and offering a huge variety of food, beverage, art and craft, local produce and of course…pumpkins!
Entertainment.
Special activities for the children will include the hay bale maze, Base Zero Rock climbing wall (FREE!), animal farm and the great scarecrow building competition as well as two free shows by popular Ex-Hooley Dooley performer; Antione (Ant1!!).
Meanwhile, regular entertainers Pat Drummond and Karen Lynne will be joined on stage by six time Golden Guitar winner and the 2012 and 2014 Australian Independent Country Music Artist of the Year – LUKE O’SHEA!!
All Things Pumpkin
With the region experiencing extraordinary summer rainfall records could be set to tumble in the iconic event of the festival; the Giant Pumpkin growing competition. Growers are remaining tight lipped about their prized vegetables but organisers are confident that last year’s winning weight of a 267 kg pumpkin entered by Robinson grower; Rick Downes will be eclipsed this year.
Over $2400 in prize money for growing and cooking competitions and no shortage of pumpkin soup and pumpkin scones will make Collector the place to be on the first Sunday in May.
