TroutFest on the lookout for talent

27th May 2025

The TroutFest committee has several ideas for entertainment for young people over the October long weekend of festivities but need some local talent to help out.
Are you a lego enthusiast? Then you’re our target. We have the venue and the resources; we just need a couple of enthusiastic people who like working with children for a few hours to build their own creations and maybe enter our competition for children aged 6 to 10 years. Preferably you will already have a Working With Children Certificate but if not, we can help you get one at no cost. There will be some goodies for all participants and lots of fun. Give us a buzz via phone or send us an email with your details. We would love to have you on board.
For the middle school young people, we are looking to run a Stop Motion Animation workshop for children 12-16 years. Given the public’s interest shown in the Central School’s very creative Photography entries last year we will again be running that section in our Art Exhibition and making it a feature. Remember young people are also invited to enter their art into the exhibition. This year there will be a special category Collage/Diorama from found objects. Watch out for entry details in the Gazette in July.
The TroutFest Committee extends an invitation to ALL Guyra organizations to join in the event with their own activity or display of their special interest. There is no fee and it is a great opportunity for locals to raise funds for their organization, especially as we have so many visitors to town over the weekend. Your event can be part of our outdoor market day, a separate activity for Saturday afternoon, evening or Sunday. Organizations receive free advertising and any other support they may need. P & C groups, Church groups, charitable organizations etc are all invited to join in over the weekend. Let’s put the talent of Guyra on display and share your special interest with the wider community.
If you are interested in any of the above ideas and want to be involved, call Lynne on 0488 755 736, message us on FaceBook or email guyratroutfest@gmail.com
