Spring Fest in the Dandenong Ranges is on with gardening, food, wine and art events going on in September and OctoberIf you were unable to make the Launch on Thursday night you can pick up the Spring Fest booklets from the Info Point at Stockdale and Leggo at Olinda. We will keep stock topped up here so if you run out you can collect more.
You can also see all events on the website at www.inspiringinspring.com.au
13,000 booklets are being distributed around Melbourne over the course of the 2 months and 10,000 in our own region. We have also received wide media coverage as well as being a major part of the 12 page lift out in the Age last week. Signage in the Villages is being completed as we speak as well as distribution of booklets to key high traffic attractions.
The Spring Fest story has been picked up by the media in a variety of places including gardening, what's on and food sections of newspapers.
