Keeping in the art and garden theme for the weekend the Shire in conjunction with the hard working volunteers from the Kondinin Community Garden Working Group worked together and put on a great afternoon and evening at the Kondinin Community Garden Twilight Markets. It was fantastic to see so many people come to the markets and enjoy themselves. Whilst the rainy day wasn’t ideal, it did provide perfect conditions for the mud kitchen for the children in the new nature play area! 

It was great to have Sabrina Hahn visit Kondinin, and by all reports thoroughly enjoyed her stay and would quite happily come back again.  Thank you also to all the stall holders who despite the weather turned up and braved the windy and wet conditions as did our local musicians, John Read CEO, Peter Turner and Shaun Franich. 

The students staying for the weekend through the John Curtin Weekend program also reported to enjoy their time in Kondinin and helping out at the Art Show, the Community Garden, collecting manure from the Young’s farm and the Tennis Club busy bee.  

The Shire has received lots of constructive feedback from the event which we will take on board to run the event again next year. A huge thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who came along to support this event.
