VICTORIAN non-profit youth organisation Evolve at Typo Station (Evolve) will celebrate its 14th annual Bush Fair on Saturday, October 25.

The fair will be held on the Typo Station property, located south east of Wangaratta on Rose River Road, Cheshunt.

Evolve’s CEO Paul Stolz said: "We hope that the community enjoys the Bush Fair as much as we do and knows how much their coming along to Bush Fair year after year means to our organisation.

"We are so grateful to all those who help out with organising the event, those who volunteer their time and skills, perform at no cost, hold stalls and demonstrations and show their support by coming along."

There is a full day of activities planned for the Bush Fair to appeal to young and old, with amateur sheath tossing championships, cross cut saw competitions, bush poetry, local produce and craft stalls, wine tasting, children’s activities, games and much more.

The Bush Fair promises to be a fun-filled community day, offering family and friends a taste of what Evolve at Typo Station has to offer.

Gates open at 11am (no pets or BYO) and close at 11pm.

Entry to the fair is $5 per head, with a free sausage and bread upon arrival, and there will be plenty of tempting food and drink to choose from throughout the day.

With camping facilities available onsite, the Bush Fair is a perfect excuse for a weekend camping trip in the bush.

Organisers expect the fair to attract close to 1000 people from across Victoria.

With a significant amount of local community support, Evolve hopes to raise $10,000 this year to assist as many young people as possible with their programs in 2009.

During the fair, there will be many prizes to be won, ranging from accommodation and gift vouchers to local hand made items, some made by participants in Evolve’s programs.

A number of local businesses and organisations will be holding stalls at the fair.
