Lake Cargelligo is ready to welcome returning residents to the community for a jam-packed “Festival of the Lakes” event in October.
When Patty Bartholomew created a “Memories of Lake Cargelligo 2672” Facebook page, she never imagined it would be the impetus for this year’s Festival of the Lake celebration, which takes place in Lake Cargelligo over the long weekend in October.
Born and bred in the Lake Cargelligo area, Ms Bartholomew created the page in February 2022 and it now has over 3800 followers.
“It just went gangbusters,” she said. “I created it and within a few weeks had hundreds of followers. A lot of former locals mentioned they would love to come back to the district and so a group of us ended up having a meeting and then formed a committee.
We have been madly fund-raising for the Festival ever since.”…
