I live in a ...well... rather bogan town. Think - a bottlo that constantly has specials on EB and Jacks, dirty white work utes galore and a proud logging heritage. And once a year we get together for a 'Cherry Harmony Festival'.  Strange name eh?  It seems to be named to draw the City folk in. To me it screams: 'we have cherries and we promise we won't f'ing hurt you'. 
Anyways, cherries and harmony or not, the whole main street gets closed off and filled with market stalls and food vendors, they have fashion parades, cooking demo's, dancing comps and cherry pip spitting competitions,...and the best bits- the red car parade and log chop events.
One of my most favourite things to do is to buy deep frozen choc dipped strawberries on a stick, settle down on the grass under a shady tree and watch the State log chopping competition.  For me, life really doesn't get much better than that :-D
so- here are a selection of pics from last weekend!

 I assume this was the 'lady' of the festival? she was so graceful :-)

 Live music...

 Yipee! happy me happy me...the rest of the world no longer exits...
