We had a chance to attend the Wilmot Christmas Festival last Saturday. The event was put on by the Wilmot Tourist and Progress Association. There was a jumping castle, BBQ, pancakes, stalls and Santa even showed up.

The mayor and I had to judge the children’s bike decoration competition. We both interviewed the children with Spirit FM radio station broadcasting the results live. It was a fun afternoon with my younger children enjoying themselves.

I was impressed by the event. Council helped financially by putting $400 towards the event and from next year on will contribute $750 per year.

Wilmot residents can feel isolated from the rest of Kentish because of it’s the town’s location. I am glad I made effort to attend.
