Bloomin' Beautiful Blackbutt's John Atkins has opened the doors of a new Festival office at the Blackbutt Memorial Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>July 20, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bloomin’ Beautiful Blackbutt Festival opened a Festival office in the front of the Blackbutt Memorial Hall today.<\/p>\n

For the next few months, visitors can drop into the new office any Monday to Thursday between 9:00am and noon to collect information about this year’s Festival, book tickets, buy merchandise, register a stall or lodge competition entries … or simply have a cuppa and a chat.<\/p>\n

“The festival has grown from humble beginnings in 2008,” Festival event co-ordinator John Atkins said.<\/p>\n

“But with all we have planned for 2015, the Festival committee felt we needed a physical presence in Blackbutt that would allow for a more \u2018face to face’ approach.”<\/p>\n

The new Festival office has allowed John to set up computers, communications and office storage in the Hall. <\/p>\n

He said managing and coordinating such a large event from a kitchen table or the home and work offices of volunteer committee members offered many challenges that could be fixed by having an office in Blackbutt’s main street<\/p>\n

This week the Festival committee also completed construction of a new 6×6 metre storage shed at the Blackbutt Show Grounds, thanks to assistance from the Blackbutt Agricultural Show Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The $13,000 building was paid for by a grant, and the Show Society donated the location next to its poultry pavillion.<\/p>\n

The new shed will allow the Festival to store all its tables, marquees and other infrastructure securely from one year to the next. <\/p>\n

“Now we can return our committee members’ sheds, car ports and garages to their owners,” John said. <\/p>\n

John can be contacted at the Festival office on 0408-010-932 or by email<\/B><\/A>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
