Hoedown on a Friday Night

The Festival always ends with a Hoedown, and this year was no exception, except that this year the CMF Committee had the brilliant idea to split the evening in two, with a concert at the start and then the Hoedown in the Supper Room. Where else can you see the calibre of entertainers like Graeme Connors and Suzanne Prentice, as well as a number of others, for fifteen bucks!!!

 Now on Hoedown Night you will always find some dregs. Even the camera shied away from this one. Mrs MacDonald and Mrs Pye shown in the light of their natural colours!

 Mrs Butters, Dolly and Kate ~ as ever up to mischief ~ ready to be entertained. Toes tappin n all

 Drew and Kate. How does he manage it? Anyway I'll catch up with you Mister!
