The inaugural Linville Heritage Festival is commemorating the arrival of the first train at Linville Station on November 21, 1910<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 19, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

This weekend is going to be huge in the little town of Linville with the inaugural Heritage Festival kicking off on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The event – which coincides with the 110th anniversary of the opening of the former Linville Railway Station –\u00a0is being promoted by the Linville Progress Association.<\/p>\n

It features activities in Linville as well as the nearby town of Moore.<\/p>\n

There’s music, food, a cooking competition, photographic displays and even art classes (see the Full Program<\/strong>, below)<\/p>\n

A “Paint and Sip” watercolour art class will be held on the balcony of the Linville Hotel from 3:30pm on Saturday. Canvas and brushes will be supplied but would-be artists must book ahead. Phone 0424-551-699.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the weekend will be the Camerata Chamber Orchestra performance on Sunday morning from 9:00am.<\/p>\n

This is a ticketed event with a maximum of 80 people allowed.\u00a0There are still tickets available, visit the Trybooking website<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The idea for the Heritage Festival was conceived by\u00a0Linville Hotel owners Leah and Paul Squire and is being supported by the Progress Association and local businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday night, a history of Linville will be shared in an outdoor slideshow on a big screen erected near the pub.<\/p>\n

The history theme continues across the weekend with a photographic retrospective of the Linville Picnic Races at the Old Church Gallery in Moore.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the old Linville Railway Station building is still being refurbished and won’t be available for this year’s event but the Progress Association is keen to have it ready as a History Museum in time for next year’s festival.<\/p>\n

As well as the old, Linville will also be celebrating the new this weekend.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 of the new Linville Community Garden, developed\u00a0near the Linville Hall with the aid of community and business donations, will be officially opened at 2:30pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n
