9th - 13th JUNE

2016FestivalProgram

Each passing year see our lives getting busier; full of commitments to work,

family and community. We all feel stretched further away from our roots.

Henry Lawson spoke of the time when “…You and I were faithful mates all

through the roaring days.” He was speaking of the thrill of the Gold Rush but

also of that “best time” from our memories.

The Festival committee wants you to relive and share your favourite “roaring

days”. Is it a longing for simpler times or the freedom of the years of youth?

Come back to Grenfell and celebrate the times that made you who you are.

The Festival Procession this year is themed Your Favourite Decade. Recreate

that time of “Roaring Days” which appeals to your spirit; relive those days.

Share them with us if only for a few hours on the June Long Weekend in

Grenfell. The Photography Competition follows the theme of “remembering

the best” by asking you to Come Home.

Our congratulations go to the Sesquicentenary Committee for all the work

and commitment they have displayed in recognising and acclaiming the

past 150 years of Grenfell. We wish them every success over the October

Long Weekend. The Henry Lawson Festival of the Arts Committee invites

everyone to join in the celebration of 150 years of Grenfell. Grenfell’s sons

and daughters are very proud of our home.

The Committee welcomes

everyone to Grenfell to this 59th

Henry Lawson Festival of The Arts.

“…And of the hearty greetings

And hearty clasp of hands

Would tell of sudden meetings

Of friends from other lands.”

“Said Grenfell to My Spirit”

John Hunter President The Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival

of The Arts
