Who cooks the lamb?
Nathan Lane helping with cooking the lamb for the festival
28th Jan 2025
A huge shout out to Anne & Geoff Thrift for their incredible dedication to the annual Lamb and Potato Festival!
Over the course of 12 days, they have cooked up a storm of 240 pieces of lamb, demonstrating the true spirit of community by volunteering their time year after year.
The behind-the-scenes efforts like theirs often go unnoticed, but they are essential in making this event a success.
Also, a special mention to young 8 year old Nathan Lane (pictured), who is in his third year learning the ropes of cooking lamb, spending 5-6 hours a day honing his skills.
Their hard work, generosity, and passion are what make this festival and this community so special!
