Call for festival leaders
ORGANISERS of the annual Babinda Harvest Festival are hoping that interested people will turn up to the annual general meeting on April 29 and become members of the management committee.
Cairns Local News last week reported that the festival was in doubt in September unless more volunteers came forward, particularly for crucial committee roles to run the event.
Harvest president Carly Francis said, while people had contacted her willing to help with the event, people were needed to take on the key roles of the organising committee of president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary.
“We need people to take it over and take it forward,” she said.
“There are people willing to help but we really need those to stand for committee management roles.
“It’s a wait and see and hopefully people will attend the AGM later this month.
“We need key people to take the lead.”
Anyone interested in joining the festival team can email info@babindaharvestfest.org and also attend the organisation’s 2025 annual meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, April 29.
