Festival prepares to celebrate seasonal food

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:07:40 +0000

Preparations are well under way for the 2010 Hampton Food and Arts Festival, with organisers expecting a bumper crowd to share in the tiny village’s annual celebration of seasonal food and local culture. With little more than a month until the event kicks off on Sunday May 16, organising committee chair Kerri Seccombe is more excited than ever about the potential of this year’s event. Pick up your fresh produce and speak with the farmer “Quality, seasonal food will again be the star of the show,” says Kerri, “but this year we’ve recognised that people are more aware than ever about the importance of where their food is grown and how it’s cooked. Worldwide, there’s a trend toward local, sustainably grown food and this year’s Festival will reflect this movement.” Fresh fruit and vegetables sourced from the Hampton district’s famous red soils will be featured in a series of cooking demonstrations by acclaimed Queensland chefs, Matt Golinski and Alistair McLeod. Well known for their television appearances, Golinski and McLeod share a passion for using in-season produce in their recipes, and are expected to keep the crowd entertained with their combination of expertise and lively banter. Chef Matt Golinski is a Festival favourite To further celebrate the local food theme, Matt Golinski will present an introduction to the international Slow Food movement. Kerri Seccombe said that this is a new feature of this year’s Festival. “Matt has a long involvement with the Noosa Slow Food convivium, and we’re excited that he’s agreed to present the Slow Food concept and its principles of growing and eating food that is good clean and fair. We’re hopeful that the 2010 Hampton Festival will see the birth of a High Country Slow Food convivium and will be encouraging Festival goers to express their interest at a special Slow Food display,” said Seccombe. In addition to the food focus, the Hampton Festival will offer plenty for those simply seeking a great day out in the high country. A diverse array of restaurants and wineries will offer freshly cooked meals throughout the day, and two stages of live music, headlined by jazz diva Grace Knight, will keep toes tapping. Kids are well catered for by a newly built playground and children’s entertainment precinct. The 2010 Hampton Food and Arts Festival will be held on Sunday May 16 in Chapman Park, Hampton. Gates open at 9.30am and entry is $10 (under 12’s free). A free bus service will run from Toowoomba and Highfields to Chapman Park courtesy of Bus Queensland Toowoomba, check times and lots of other info at the Festival website, www.hamptonfestival.com. For more information contact Kerri Seccombe, Marketing and Publicity, Hampton Food & Arts Festival on (07) 4697 9066 or info@hamptonfestival.com .

More Than 40 Gliders To Soar From Chinchilla For Easter Competition

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:06:43 +0000

Competitors awaiting their turn to launch. More than 40 sailplanes and their pilots will fly from Chinchilla in this year’s annual Easter Gliding Competition. The event, run by Caboolture Gliding Club and Gliding Queensland, will see massed launches from Chinchilla Airfield daily from Good Friday 2 April through to Saturday 10 April. “The sight of 40 sailplanes being towed into the air in quick succession by a small squadron of powerful tug aircraft is an exciting sight,” says competition organiser and Caboolture Gliding Club Chief Flying Instructor Brian Wade. “Visitors are welcome to come and enjoy the spectacle, which will be starting from about 11 am every day of the competition.” “The Easter event has a reputation among soaring pilots as a friendly competition and this extends to visitors and onlookers, who are welcome to ask questions and be shown around by event officials after the launching is complete.” Among the 40 plus men and women flying from Chinchilla will be pilots who have flown in elite national and international competitions. Two of these are Darling Downs fliers Mike Codling and Alan Barnes, who will be using the Easter competition to hone their pair flying skills for the next gliding world championship in Europe. Mike and Alan, who fly with Darling Downs Soaring Club at Jondaryan, were selected as team representatives for Australia and have already flown together in Europe as part of their preparation for the worlds. Other pilots are coming from as far away as New Zealand to compete in this year’s Easter competition. Further information: Garrett Russell 0412 374 477 gjr@powerup.com.au
