2104 EnviroFair - fantastic turnout on a great day!
On the 7th of June, the 23rd annual EnviroFair was held, with the theme of 'Year of the Family Farmer'.  

We had a beautiful day - despite the weather man's predictions -  and a fantastically successful year for all concerned.  

We would like extend a big thank you to the sponsors, stallholders, speakers, performers, and all the people who participated to make the day as brilliant as it could have possibly been!  

Plus a very special thank you to all those volunteers that worked tirelessly for months prior to this very important annual event.  Without you it would not happen...and it is a credit to your dedication and perseverance that EnviroFair continues to be the joyous celebration of all that is best in the Manning Valley.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - The Other Window
7pm - 9pm on Tuesday nights

Picture
The Other Window opens out onto a world where the Freaks rule and the musical landscape sounds very, very different. 
Strange sounds like Electronica, Post Rock, Experimental, Industrial, Freak Folk, Americana and Avant-Garde drift through the window each Tuesday night in a fairly eclectic manner, with the odd featured album or artist show.
The Other Windows presenter Brendan Parker has been on air at 2BOB since 1998, first helping on the Fossil Hunt show [1980’s and back – a vinyl based show] before starting the Mind Music show [Psychedelic and Progressive Rock], finally moving on to take over The Other Window in 2009.  Tune in 7-9pm Tuesdays.
