Final photos from the day

It's over

The 2014 Experience Orange! Expo is over. There were fewer stall holders and visitors than in 2011 but I think those that came were the ones who were really interested in joining or volunteering. There was a wonderful atmosphere and the weather wasn't too wild. The egg and bacon roll makers were busy all day as was the coffee machine.

Thank you to all who contributed.

Thank you CSU students

These CSU students who live in the residences in Orange were a great help with the set up of the Expo today, providing the muscle lacking in some Rotarians. They are studying clinical science, dentistry and physiotherapy and come from as far away as Byron Bay.

All set up and ready to go

See you there tomorrow between 9am and 4pm. Great place to be even if it is raining. Food provided by the Rotary Club of Orange and entertainment by many. Make sure you see the Blue Heeler Cloggers,  the U3A recorder consort, Cantar choir and the Orange City Brass Band.
