About Lumby Days
LUMBY DAYS SOCIETY
Citizens of Lumby have celebrated Lumby
Days in various forms. We have focused on agriculture, rodeos, sport
tournaments, forestry related exhibitions parades, children activities and many
more. The one thing that has been consistentover all the years is the“ family festival” atmosphere which we
continue to strive for.
Plans for Lumby Days commence 9-10months prior to
thefestival.The executive and Directors are elected at
the Annual General Meeting in September. During the next two months committees are formed,committee leaders appointedandplans for the various activities are made.By January,
the“theme”of the festival will be decided and actual
bookings for activities are finalized.In February and March the various committees will dedicate their time to
gathering necessary volunteers,contacting their exhibitors,and getting a general plan for their
activities.By April and May all the
committee leaders meet to put the show together,arrange for times and co-ordinate the
festival to facilitate all the activities that will take place.
The Lumby Days Society is a non profit
organization.The purpose of the
executive committee is to co-ordinate all the activities for Lumby Days so that
all the clubs, organizations and groups can exhibit at the festival, promote
their organization and fund raise for their individual clubs etc. There is no charge to enter the parks and
enjoy the Lumby Family Festival. In
order for the committee to pay the necessary rentals,insurance,security,first aid,advertising,etc. we require the clubs and organizations taking part to pay 10% of
their net profit to the Lumby Days Society.Other than the sale of Lumby Days buttons andthe 10% payment,the Lumby Days Society depend on donations to
finance the family festival.
The Lumby Days Family Festival requires
many volunteers and many committed hours, some small duties, others
larger.If you feel you could or would
be willing to assist the committee, please contact a society member.... WELCOME
EVERYONE.....
