We are already getting organised for 2010 and have sent out letters asking for sponsorship.  Rushworth and Community Bank have leapt in with an offer to fund a circus workshop which has been happily accepted.  So if you ever wanted to learn to juggle, spin or diablo come to the Easter Festival next year.  And GREAT EXCITEMENT - on Easter Sunday will be the Working Draught Horses Muster at Moora (7km from Rushworth).  A wonderful chance to see these magnificent gentle giants working the old farm machinery.  There will also be gypsy caravan and wagons.  These shire horses will be taking part in the Easter Saturday street parade and there is a surprise organised with this group.

Here are some highlights of the Rushworth Easter Festival Parade.

Here's some more information about the Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival on Sat April 11, 9 am to 5 pm.
