Picnic in the Park

May 1, 2025

The End Of Year Spectacular for 2024 had to be cancelled because of atrocious weather, and the substitute was a community picnic at the Oberon Common on Saturday, April 26 this year.

The weather gods were a little kinder this time, with only occasional periods of light rain during the day. This kept the crowds down a bit, but the day was still a success.

There was entertainment by The Safety of Life at Sea, an alarmingly tall lady, a juggler, some animals to look at and pet and even a Slinky (!),  and there were many stalls selling local produce and artisan and craft works. There was free sausage sizzle for lunch and free fairy floss (for people who know a good dentist). The only thing that seemed to be missing was a coffee van, but if that was all anyone had to complain about it was still a very good day out.

Unfortunately, Oberon Matters couldn't get there until quite late (the AEC decided that it would be a good day for training election officials), but still got enough pictures to tell the story.
