Unfortunately the wind today is far too strong for our gazebo and we are unable to run the event today as planned. We have left the trail up and prizes (sticker sheets) will be available in the Town Information Centre (open until 3.30pm today and open 9.30am – 1.30pm Saturday). Apologies for the inconvenience and hope you enjoy the trail over the weekend.
