welcome the season of Yegge with songs and words and verses

Swim for lily seeds, collect sticks for damper rolls

Prepare Damper with song and story

Finishing up : about  2 – 2.30pm

Parents need to be watchful around the fire and help supervise the cooking of the damper on sticks so there are no burns.

If anyone has a poem or song to share for the festival please bring along.

Di Lucas will be away this Yegge festival but you are lucky to have Samantha and maybe Deb and Anna to assist. Sam  will bring flour and butter and honey to add to the waterlily damper so please bring a gold coin to contribute to this cost.  Thank you.
