Edit - dog is home with its owner; the angle of the photo makes it look in poor condition when it is in fact well looked after. Just went on an adventure today.

This dog is roaming again. If this is your dog, look after it and please feed the poor thing. Someone tied it up at the post boxes behind the bakery earlier this afternoon. Please collect it asap.

Hello community. I accidentally bought the wrong dog food for my greyhound yesterday, so I’m giving away 2 x 3kg rolls of VIP Megabite with beef. I hope someone can use it? Cheers

🌟 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Preparations are already underway for the 2027 Thorpdale Potato Festival coming up in March next year and we’re excited to see sponsors starting to come on board! 🥔🎉

We’re proud to shine a spotlight on the local businesses and legends who help make the festival possible through their support.

A big thank you to Tap’d Out Plumbing & Gasfitting for coming on board as a Bronze Sponsor for the 2027 festival, we’re thrilled to have your support! 👏 Need a hand with plumbing or gas repairs? Safe to say, we know who to call! 👨‍🔧

Our sponsors are a huge part of what makes the festival happen. Their support not only helps deliver a fantastic event, but also helps give back to the wider community, with profits from the festival reinvested into local groups, projects, and initiatives. ❤️
