As you get planning for the next public holiday, i.e. the Labour Day long weekend just over a month away, make sure you add in the Avon Valley Vintage Festival to your list of fun things to do. Happening on Saturday, March 1 and Sunday, March 2 at the new Northam Recreation Centre (an hour’s drive from Midland) it’s about all things retro including vintage cars, free antique valuations, photographic and museum displays, a vintage poker den, animal farm, old-fashioned kids games, market stalls and much more. Head to avoneventsandmarketing.com for more info and to win one of three double passes valid for the weekend, subscribe to X-Press shout-out, and email: [email protected].
