Meeniyan sizzling hot
Meeniyan was buzzing with people on Saturday, as the main street came to life for the annual Meeniyan on Fire festival.
The street celebration featured stalls, abseiling by South Gippsland District Scouts, a smoke house staged by the Meeniyan-Stony Creek CFA, and wandering displays by the members of the Leongatha Medieval Society.
Kids enjoyed a jumping castle, face painting and tasty food, while adults cast their vote on a logo for the Tarwin Valley to promote the region’s produce.
The event was staged by the Meeniyan Traders Association.
