All Dayboro residents are very welcome. It is good to get involved in your community and have your say.
DAYBORO DAY AWARDS:
You better be quick, May 8th is the deadline for nominations!!!!!!! Application form available at ECU or Dayboro Cottage or email me at secretary@dayborodistrict.com.au and I can send you one.
DAYBORO DAY FESTIVAL:
Well, May is here. The Rodeo will have been and gone so DAYBORO DAY FESTIVAL is just around the corner. In fact, this addition of the GRAPEVINE will have a nifty insert for you for the day, with all sorts of interesting facts and info. We hope all the residents of Dayboro and surrounds come to visit Dayboro Township on the day and, of course, go up to the show grounds and have a peek at the Antique and Collectables Fair. This is still only $5 entry fee and well worth a look. There will be some great displays up there as well.
A reminder to all sporting clubs
Saturday 30th the work gang will be putting up all the bunting for the NO PARKING that will take place on SUNDAY. I know that as this is the 24th Dayboro Day Festival, you are all aware of the problems facing having matches on the Saturday before DDF, so this is just a gentle reminder in case it had slipped your mind.
LUCKY SQUARES: ‘Buy’ your square today!
These are on sale prior to Dayboro Day because the prizes are to be utilized on that day! Prizes will be drawn on Friday 29th May. There are 2 prize draws, each prize being a helicopter ride for 1 person on Dayboro Day. Chances are $10 each. For more information contact Maria (0438 897 279) or Lexie (3425 2260).

DAYBORO MARKET: The markets are going strong with some new stalls this year. Proceeds from the 2014 markets have been dispersed as follows: $200 to Laps 4 Life; $3250.00 to QIMR (Qld Institute of Medical Research); and $1000.00 to Dayboro Churches Community Chest. Our Market encourages visitors to our town who then frequent local businesses, and when they have such a lovely time, are keen to visit again and again each month. The Market is also an opportunity for locals to sell their goods without having to venture too far from home. The ultimate reward to the Dayboro Sunday Market is being able to provide much needed funds as already mentioned.
Fees for stalls are: $15 for a 3m x 3m site.
For more information, please contact Lexie 3425 2260 or Steve 3425 2456.
