Today is day one of the six-day Rhubarb Festival in Hopedale.
Doris Boase is one of the organizers.
The festival was supposed to start with a BBQ for the community, but Vale couldn’t make it due to weather, so the BBQ will be later this week.
At 7pm, there will be Fear Factor for anyone 16 years of age and older.
The teams will consist of one male and one female, one member being between the ages of 16 to 39 years of age, and the other member must be 40 years of age and older.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes will be awarded for the best times.
There are five teams registered and people can still register until 5pm.
There are door prizes to win each day for both the participants and the spectators.
There will be a cardboard boat race tomorrow Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 4:30pm, and a flea market will begin at 7:30pm tomorrow.
