Easter fun for all at Tour de Tarwin

THE Tour de Tarwin is more than an Easter time family fun bike ride and walk linking the twin villages of Tarwin Lower and Venus Bay.
Since its 2006 inception the event has grown from having 270 participants to 1300 walkers and riders and now encompasses a series of activities dotted across the Easter weekend.
The Tour de Tarwin is the main fundraiser for the South Gippsland CFA and other emergency services.
A feature of this year’s event will be the Demons versus the Sharks football match.
MDU and Tarwin football clubs will contest the inaugural Tour de Tarwin Shield on Easter Saturday afternoon.
Lanyard wearers will be admitted at half price.
Also on Saturday afternoon there will be bus tours for a gold coin donation of the Bald Hills Wind Farm.
Event registration will take place on Good Friday.
There will be a Four Day Fishing Classic, live music and market stalls.
The event itself will begin in Venus Bay on Saturday with a singing of the national anthem and terminate at the Mechanics Institute Hall in Tarwin Lower where there will be displays by the Venus Bay Surf Life Saving Club, Parks Victoria, the Bald Hills Wind Farm, the Tarwin Lower CFA, Murray Goulburn and local area historical display.
Participants will also be greeted by a variety of food stalls or you can bring your own picnic lunch.
There will be music, dancing, mini golf and an Easter egg hunt for under 13 year old tour lanyard wearers.
Easter Sunday includes the opportunity to play Barefoot Bowls at the Tarwin Lower Bowls Club or test your knowledge at the Men’s Shed Trivia Night.
There really is something for everyone and some great prizes as well ranging from $100 for each of the first male and female adult runners to $200 for the best team theme of six or more people, $20 each for the best three Easter bonnets and $50 each for the three most creatively decorated children’s bikes.

Easter mass: a fundraiser for the South Gippsland CFA and other emergency services, the Tour de Tarwin gets bigger each year and attracts a colourful crowd of all ages with entertainment for everyone.
