Sunday's ninth semi-annual Whorouly Village Fair got off to a slow start before crowds started rolling in and Whorouly Recreation Reserve was buzzing.

“We had several first-time stallholders, who were very impressed by the venue and were delighted with their day’s trade,” said village fair coordinator Jennifer Garrett.

“We also had many returning stallholders, some of whom actually sold out and others who felt business was a little bit slower this year, but all agreed it was a great community event.”

Best of all, Ms Garrett said, Whorouly showcased what the town has to offer, with the community joining together to raise money for their various clubs and organisations, to support other community members and socialise.

President of the Whorouly Memorial Park committee, Trent Newton, who was on sausage sizzle duties, said the social interaction was an important part of the village fair, with friends, neighbours and visitors enjoying the atmosphere and the attractions.

This year’s village fair also hosted a large contingent of the ever-popular Myrtleford line dancers who boot-scooted on the oval, while the Myrtleford Ukulele Group serenaded the crowd.

Ms Garrett said a fun feature of the 2025 Whorouly Village Fair was the involvement of the local children.

“There were some entrepreneurial youngsters running their own stalls this year,” she said.

"The kinder hosted special activities for the little ones and the school set up a four-strong selection, including the ever-popular chocolate trailer and auctioning off a range of student-made scarecrows."

Mr Newton said the school’s scarecrow auction was a lot of fun and he now has one of the creations taking pride of place in his home garden.
