The new Colours of Yarraman Festival has been declared a success by organisers with a good roll-up at all the events during the week-long carnival.<\/p>\n

Yarraman Progress Association president Joe Stimpson\u00a0said he was happy to announce that Colours Of Yarraman would now be an annual event.<\/p>\n

“We have had wonderful support from the community,” he said.<\/p>\n

This year’s festival was launched on Saturday, October 1, with a jazz night in Station Park.<\/p>\n

Live music was played while guests enjoyed a bring-a-plate long table dinner and licensed bar.<\/p>\n

The week continued with a special Mixed Triples event at the Bowls Club on Tuesday, and a Movie Under The Stars, hosted by Yarraman Kindy in Errol Munt Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, more than 100 seniors gathered at the Yarraman Memorial Hall for a free morning tea and entertainment.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, the award-winning Friends of Yarraman Creek offered guided tours of Yarraman Creek then on Saturday evening, the winners of the Colours of Yarraman gardening competition (see below) were announced during a Garden Party at Heritage House.<\/p>\n

There was a guest speaker, displays of the Mini Garden competition entrants, music, free finger food and a bar.<\/p>\n

As an added attraction for visitors, the Toowoomba Regional Council also had a concept plan for the beautification of Toomey Street on display.<\/p>\n

Judge’s Comments:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Judge Robert Campbell joked that there appeared to have been an outbreak of meerkats in Yarraman, with the cute African animals appearing in a lot of local gardens!<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said that when judging he looked for design, ie “how the garden flowed”; as well as plant selection – for the right position, colour; how focal areas were treated; maintenance – what resources were used, what mulch; what parts of the garden were pruned, and what parts were left natural.<\/p>\n

In the native garden section, at least 70 per cent of the garden plants had to be natives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
