New features and 'magic' to return at Molong show
by President Helen Crisp
The 2023 Molong Show is only weeks away! With Cudal Show going first on the September calendar (See What's On for dates P.17) followed by Eugowra Show, then by Molong Show and Canowindra. It's a whole new show this year - with a large committee of volunteers stepping up to return 'magic' to Molong's oldest event. Some of these ideas will be put into place this year - and many of the others will be put into place in 2024 and following years. The Molong Show schedule is out and can be picked up from Molong Newsagency , Lime and Stone and a couple of other locations around
town. The schedule features a tonne of sections and competitions - many are fun for both kids and adults.. Win or not ... efforts to enter do not go unnoticed. Entries are also open for the 2023 AgShows Young Woman competition - with the winner moving onto a regional competition and winners of that can take part in the Sydney Royal Easter Show competition. For information and to enter contact Wendy Henry on 0414 872 323. In addition Kate Greenwood is looking forward to organising a Most Suitably Dressed Pre-Teen fashion parade at the show featuring winner at the 2018 Molong Show, Zoe clothing made from natural fibres.

News from Cumnock - The Village of the Heart
WE NEED Volunteers
Saving their town, saving their General Store, the Long White Lunch ... just a few of the initiatives Cumnock has produced in the past few years. In the small 'village of the heart' (as the locals call it) came the news that the Cumnock General Store might close if it was not sold. It was time for the pwners, Paul and Peg Rudd to move onto retirement ... and with no-one wanting to purchase the
store... well, along came the 'rescue'. The sold sign has gone up - and the call is out from the committee of energetic entrepreneurs to find the right skilled people to now bring about serious building/premises/shop changes. Pictured below are some of the amazing entrepreneurs and volunteers now progressing to reality. Keep an eye out! This community led project is absolutely ... marvellous!

Saving our Store
A poem by Sonja Maree Kirchloff There was movement in the village for the word had passed around That the Cumnock store, it might be shutting down The owners were seeking change, it was worth a pretty pound So all the locals gathered for a save. All the tried and true Cumnockians, they gathered night and day Then had a bowlo meeting one fine winters night To announce the funds were raised, the shop it had been saved The community, they all cheered in delight The founding members drove it like a stock horse on a herd They never frayed or baulked at such a task The investments that they put in will forever aid the town As they have found the security they know will last Now the former owners have their new found chapters to discover The community gathers to lay the plans all down Cumnockians can delight as they go to bed at night Registrations Now open for the Cumnock Little Aths!!

Knowing they have helped to save a struggling town.
