Local Daylesford community services will be on show, including the Glenlyon Group CFA, Ambulance Victoria and Daylesford SES.

The Hall of Flowers will feature demonstrations of crafting with a plant focus, wool spinning by an expert, and Spring Park Nursery will be selling gorgeous garden plants while the Lake Mist duo play cruisy music in the background.
