Thanks to our Sponsors

Thank you to our many Sponsors whom you can see listed if you click Sponsors on the top Menu Bar. It is very pleasing that so many businesses from Kandos, Rylstone, Mudgee and further afield have demonstrated their support for the Kandos Gardens Fair 2013 through sponsorship. I am sure you appreciate that we need sponsorship in order to hold an event such as this.

All the gate takings go to the Parents and Citizens Association of a local school – this year Rylstone Public School. It is also an opportunity for local volunteer groups to make some money by providing food or having a stall.

Currently we are preparing Certificates of Appreciation for each of the sponsors and they should receive these in July when we will be picking up prizes for our raffle. I will be able to tell you more about our raffle after our next Committee meeting on 8th July.
