This is an opportunity for CVH (Country Village Heaven - the group that organises this annual mid-winter festival) to acknowledge the amazing organisations and businesses that have committed their support so far and for locals to find out how they can contribute or get involved.
Dale Keith will be firing up his fire BBQ outside and cooking up some tasty morsels to bring the festive spirit!
