The Bannockburn event is in its third year, but some of the events are brand new.  The Bannie Beanie competition has really captured the region’s imagination, with high interest both in taking up the challenge to create an entry, and in viewing the results. Categories include the People’s Choice, and you can vote when you view the beanies. At the same venue, will be a Recycled Fashion Exhibition.  Facing the Hall, there will be a Floral Design exhibition in the beautiful Bannockburn Community Church.
