THE Wandiligong Nut Festival was bustling last weekend, with Saturday’s numbers around double on last year, according to festival president Lee Rosser.
“It was a busy weekend in town all round, with the public holiday on the Thursday,” he said.
“We had really good weather, and it was fantastic.
“We had a really good weekend of music, and Sunday’s become the real local’s day.”
While he was yet to have exact attendance numbers, he said they limit attendance to 3000 at any time, and Saturday got close to that number.

“On that Saturday we ran out of nuts quite a few times,” he said.
“We brought a lot more in on Sunday to cater for that.”
Mr Rosser thanked the volunteers who assisted with running the festival.
“It really is a mammoth effort to get the whole thing together,” he said.
“It's become a very big event, and we can't do it without all the amazing help that we have from volunteers, our sponsors and our partners.
“It is a 100 per cent community-run event.
“All the money we get goes straight back into it to make it bigger and better for next year.”
