With perfect weather to be out and about, the Rylstone Memorial Hall only had about six stall holders in it instead of being full.

Apparently, the reason was, "They're all sick". Despite that, an interesting new stall was Elise Wallis's 'Buzzed by Nature' with Apothecary Soaps, Lip balms, Body Butters, Beard Balms and Oils, body Balms, Salves, Barrier Cream, Scar Oil and Oil Sprays.

'Buzzed by Nature' is based in historic Gulgong about 25minutes from Mudgee and home to some of Australia's best Vineyards and Apiarists. With our Flow hive and Bee friendly garden already set up and knowing the antibacterial, anti-fungal and healing powers of honey 'Buzzed by Nature' was born.

Currently we are selling at our local hair dresser Indyco hair design and at the Rylstone Artisan Market every second Sunday of the month.

Last Friday students from Kandos High School volunteered to sell badges and other memorabilia on Legacy's Badge Day.

The Legacy Organisation of Kandos and Rylstone stand by the dependants of veterans who gave their lives or health in the service of their nation.

The students actively canvassed the shopping areas of both towns. Their enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations for your efforts and Mrs Helen Fuller for co-ordinating them!

More than 25 vehicles of all sorts attended Saturday's 'Coffee and Cars. Perfect weather saw some exotic cars parked around the Rylstone Showground area.

The Showground has been the most popular site but some enthusiasts would like the lower Louee street area. Of notable interest were the beautiful Ford Falcon 'Cobras'.

Wade Baglin drove his fathers, 1978 Ford Falcon XC GS Cobra and Tracy Boxsell's unique 1979 Ford Falcon XD 351 cubic inch Cobra were stand-out vehicles for the public to admire. Check Facebook for the next, meeting.
