Our wonderful sponsors continue to help support the Yackandandah Folk Festival, and we would like to thank Oztek Holdings for their very generous support.
We have also been awarded a grant from the Victorian Multicultural Commission, and would like to thank them for their kind assistance. This grant is towards the inclusion and participation of Bhutanese and Sudanese migrants from the Albury-Wodonga area at the Festival. It will enable members from these communities to join in the opening parade, perform their traditional music and dance on the street stage, enable their young people to meet at "The Shed" (the youth venue), to participate in workshops, run market stalls and attend performances. With the Festival falling fair and square within Harmony Week, this is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved! Thank you VMCC - we will all be the richer for your kind financial offering!
Big thanks to Indigo Shire Council - not just for their grant money which helps us put on this festival, but also for their staff time, help and commitment which has made Festival life that bit easier.
Thank you all for your help and encouragement - you know who you are! It is much appreciated.
We have some new sponsors for 2010, and our thanks go to PCB Pty Ltd who are currently working on the revamping our our Yackandandah Public Hall. Thank you, Anthony for your kind donation to the Yack Folk Festival.
The Hume Building Society continues to help support us, so thank you again - it's sponsorship that helps the Festival continue. We appreciate your contining support. It's very important to have links with our community banking facilities, and we have built up a strong relationship over the years with the Hume.
A huge thanks to the Yackandandah Newsagency for a donation to assist with the parade and town decoration. Not only do the owners help with this type of sponsorship, but they are both very much involved in community groups and projects in the town - more power to your elbow! Thanks James and Cassandra from all on the Festival committee.
Graham Berry Construction, commercial builders, have also joined the Yack Folk Festival funding partners this year. Thank you very much - not only are you helping upgrade our Council facilities, but you are supporting the local organisations. We appreciate your support.
YCDCo are very kindly sponsoring the Festival this year, and this will assist with the Street Parade and decorations for the town. It's always a very important part of the Festival and we are intending to have a really spectacular one again. YCDCo are amazing supporters of local endeavours - so thank you very much for your generous contribution.
Foodworks is our local supermarket. Not only do they sponsor the Yack Folk Festival, but they are very generous employers of many of our young people. Don't you love these synergistic links? Thank you, Foodworks. Please support them and our local businesses in return.
Vintage Alley
One of our lovely quirky shops in Yackandandah - offering clothing from the past. Take the time to swing past and look at the wonderful offerings there. It will take you back to the days when we had time to stand around and have FUN. Just like the Festival Weekend. Thanks, guys, for your very kind sponsorship.
