Mayor Tim Overall in festive mood at The Royal.
AS EPIC goes quiet this Easter weekend, downtown Queanbeyan will keep the spirit of the National Folk Festival alive through âGood Folkâ, two days of music-making.
At a launch held in the Royal Hotel this morning (January 29) Helen Roben, managing director of the Folk Festival, suggested that the coming event, âGood Folkâ, wouldnât really be a festival, but rather a program featuring 22 concerts.
But for his part, the Mayor of Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, Tim Overall, described the âfestival with a small fâ as âvery exciting, a great result for the local economy after the drought, fires, floods and covidâ. It was sad, he said, that elsewhere in the immediate region the popular Majors Creek Music Festival had been cancelled, and there had been unanimous support on council for a partnership with the festival.
Julie Moore.
FAMILIES are concerned for the wellbeing of two missing persons after having been reported lost each in Queanbeyan and Canberra.
Police are seeking public assistance to locate a 53-year-old woman and an 18-year-old boy.
Julie Moore’s case is extremely troubling, last seen by a family member on Christmas Eve (December 24).
Ms Moore failed to make contact with family members over Christmas Day plans, which was considered “out of character”.
Monaro police district criminal investigation launched Strikeforce Kadigal to investigate the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
Inquiries have revealed Ms Moore arrived at Queanbeyan Leagues Club around 11.00pm on December 24 before leaving a short time later.
