150th Celebrations

| DOWNLOAD 2009 CALENDAR | word | pdf |

Australia's oldest Italian building and first pasta factory is 150 years young next year! In 2009 much of our community and special guests will gather in friendship for a wonderful year of celebration and commemorative projects at Hepburn Springs.

The Macaroni Factory's property will see some new developments to assist in hosting some of the events. This includes an outdoor performance area, woodfired pizza oven, walkways and expanded gardens. Further, a Pioneer's Avenue of Honour project will underpin our special year to acknowledge our early settlers.

Local businesses will also have the opportunity to be involved in hosting some events and providing hospitality for our guests. We have also sought the help and advice of community and business members as we progress and broaden plans.

Alongside sponsor registration, historic and background information, this section of our website is to advise media and our patrons and acknowledge sponsors. We welcome your advice and participation towards our year. Please contact us via the email link below or contact numbers on the media release.
