Graze the Day draws a crowd
THE inaugural Graze the Day event in Timboon saw more than 1000 people enjoying what was on offer.
Festival-goers were treated to about 40 food, beverage and art stalls featuring regional producers from the Great Ocean Road region.
Live music and children’s entertainment added to the drawcard of the day.
Corangamite Shire mayor Kate Makin was pleased with how the event went.
“It was a great success,” she said.
“Everyone was enjoying themselves.
“There was something for everyone including the kids, which was great.
“It was a nice laid-back afternoon of enjoying music and people’s company.”
Crowds of people gathered at the amphitheatre to enjoy local food, wine, spirits, crafts, arts, cultural activities, kids entertainment and music.
The event commenced with a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony and traditional dance performance thanks to Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation (EMAC).
Throughout the day there were masterclass sessions in which staff from Babche Wines, Schulz Organic Dairy, REAL Pizza Pasta Salads and ABecketts Creek Cooperage gave demonstrations of their wares.
EMAC volunteers presented habitat learning sessions and Wild Action Zoo let the audience get up close and personal with a range of native fauna.
