Chapple Heritage Recognized

Chapple Heritage Days goes this weekend.

It's taking place at the farm of Steve and Joan Both.

Chair of Chapple's Heritage Committee Rilla Race says it's an opportunity to celebrate the area's heritage.

"We've been doing this since 2000," says Race. "It started actually in 1999 with our Chapple centennial. Since that time we've just had a weekend and its our ninth year.

Among the events include a bonfire on tonight, and a tractor parade, a wood loading demonstration and saddle horse events tomorrow.

While the event is free, Race says they use it to raise funds for the operation of the Chapple Museum in Barwick.
