02.01.2022 This is a post that is definitely not easy to write. Please know that we are writing this after much thought, waiting to see how things progressed, planning and further deliberation. The Tolga Scarecrow Festival, as we have planned with excitement and anticipation, will not be able to go ahead in October 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The following facts have lead to this decision:... 1. COVID-19 cases have been shown to increase in Australia over the past weeks, although not in our region thankfully! 2. It is deemed that the risk is not over and many changes are here to stay. No-one is certain what things will look like over the coming months. 3. The Federal Government press releases are indicating stage 3 restrictions will last 3-6 months, if not longer. If cases increase, we may be moved back to stage 2. 4. Under Stage 3 (at this stage, from midnight 10th July) gatherings over 100 for festivals and cultural events are to only occur if social distancing is observed and the event is ticketed with set seating locations and no movement of people. A Covidsafe plan must be in place. Due to the nature of the Tolga Scarecrow festival and venue, we feel this is not feasible or possible. Unfortunately, based on all the information currently at hand, the Tolga Scarecrow Festival will need to be postponed. I thank-you so much for your interest and support of this event and look forward to you joining us in 2021. It is anticipated that the committee will re-convene in late January 2021 to start preparations for a future event and we will be again seeking expressions of interest from community members who would love to volunteer and make this event special. I would also like to take this opportunity to also thank the Atherton Tablelands Chamber of Commerce Inc.* and Bree from BizOffsider** for their support and anticipate that we will work with them again in the future to plan and deliver an awesome family event for our community, showcasing what we have to offer. (See below for more details) Thank-you again for your support and we look forward to connecting again in 2021.
