The Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum in Jeparit will come alive on 10th and 11th June for their 10th Annual Vintage Rally.
The Museum is dedicated to the pioneering times of country life in the Jeparit area from the 1800's through to the mid-1900's, a time of great development in agriculture from the clearing of the land to tractors taking over from horses. Many of the items in the museum are still in operating condition, and these are showcased during the Annual Vintage Rally.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the rally, run every Queens Birthday Long Weekend, and will present a vast array of exhibitors including car clubs, blade shearing demonstrations, heritage crafts and trade stalls, the Dunmunkle Sump Oilers, 1800's & 1900's wedding dresses, and a fully operational Blacksmith's Shop.
The Sandy Creek Clydesdales are returning again with working field demonstrations using implements from the Museum's collection.
A wide variety of food and snacks, including Devonshire Teas, will be available along with Horse and Coach Rides, Joy Flights, and activities for children.
