THE FOREST Folk’s inaugural Something in the Valley night was a huge success.

Fairy lights covered the walls, the stage was guarded by magnificent hand chainsawed wombats, a halo of myrtle hung from the ceiling and vintage velvet couches and lamps added to the lustre of the evening.

Jasmine Rocca of the Forest Folk reported on receiving so much positive feedback on the calibre of music, lighting show, delicious food and transformation of the hall.

A team of volunteers helped pull the night together. The raffle, drawn by little locals Huckle and Rohie, was a huge hit and made the night exciting and fun.

The organisers were told the sound was ‘the best it’s ever sounded’ in the hall. Emotions flowed, seeing the community come together so strongly. Many patrons emailed to say how special the evening was.

Jasmine concluded, ‘I must give a huge thank you to the Meander Valley Council for their support, to the performers, volunteers and businesses who donated to the raffle, and to my friends for making this a most enjoyable process.

‘I think its fair to say Something In The Valley will be back next year!’
