The Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival is gearing up for another spectacular year, with a new executive committee stepping in to lead the beloved community event.
Stepping into the role of president is Sharryn Smith, bringing her passion for community engagement and event coordination.
Joining her is Mark James as vice-president, well-known as a former Daffodil King and a dedicated supporter of the festival.
Michelle Skipper continues the role of treasurer, with Jharna Hogan as secretary, ensuring smooth administration.
The committee is further strengthened by members Bill Meeker, Chris Cregan and Geoff Barrett, whose experience and enthusiasm will help drive the festival’s continued success.
“A heartfelt thank you goes to Peter Henderson, who has dedicated countless hours leading the festival as president for several years,” Sharryn said.
“While stepping down from the top role, Peter will continue to support the executive committee in the background as operations manager, bringing his invaluable expertise in logistics, road closures and safety planning.
“His dedication has been instrumental in the festival’s growth, and the committee is grateful for his ongoing contribution.”
Sharryn said the KDAAF committee was now putting out a call for assistance. “We need some helpers,” she said.
“It can be as much or as little support that you are able to give. You don’t have to go to meetings (if you don’t want to). “Any of your precious time you can spare would be greatly appreciated.”
