Broke Hosts First Village Fair after July Floods

BY DARCY MCGAVIN

Broke will be holding its annual Village Fair and Vintage Car Display this Sunday, helping community morale and local businesses after damaging flooding in July.

The event is expected to bring in 5,000 to 6,000 people and will host over 300 vintage cars and motorbikes and 60 stalls, with music, whip cracking, bush poetry, food trucks, markets and artisan stalls.   

Broke Village Fair President Jody Derrick says people are keen to get out and about.

"It'll be a great opportunity for people to get together and have a chat about good things," she said. "There's been a lot of doom and gloom so it will be great for locals to get together and see its not all doom and gloom."

"We have some arts and woodwork. We'll have Stan Ray doing some chainsaw displays. There's plenty to see and lots of live entertainment all day."

The event will be open at 9am and entry is a gold coin donation.
