Hi there,

my name is Kirsten Esdorn and I am the Coordinator of the 5th Annual Herb Festival's Herbie Parade to be held on August 20th, 2005.

The Herbie Parade is a grand procession of gleaming old and new VWs, predominantly Beetles, colourful musicians and street performers winding their way through the city streets of Lismore.

The Parade leads into the Festival site prior to the Official Opening Ceremony of the Greenridge Health and Herb Festival. The VWs are then parked on display on the festival site where they will be viewed and judged.

We want to invite you and your members to be a part of the Parade. Attached please find the Registration Form for the Parade as well as information on judging categories, dates etc.

The Health and Herb Festival is predominantly a food / educational festival and community celebration that showcases the use of herbs in complemantary medicines, regional cuisine and promotes healthy lifestyle options. Please check out our Festival website:
www.herbfestival.org.
The Festival dates are Saturday, August 20th and Sunday 21st, 2005.

We would be happy to welcome you and your Beetles on-board. Please spread the word to your members. It would be great if you could announce the Herbie Parade in your newsletter or events calendar.

For further information please contact me by email or on 6622 8147. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Kirsten Esdorn
