STORIES will be shared around a communal fire pit when Tarnagulla celebrates the winter solstice next week.
Members of Southern Loddon Tourism will put warmth and fun into the shortest day of the year.
One of the organisers, Frances Clarke, said the winter solstice had its origins in the New Stone Age more than 3000 years ago.
She said the solstice celebrations would showcase Loddon food and wine.
“There will be warming roasts from Digger’s Diner, paella and other morsels from Little Sangria, roast potatoes with all of the trimmings from Spuds on the Run, mulled wine from Newbridge Winery and beer from Lake Meran Brewery,” she said.
Solstice activities will also include gypsy tarot readers and music from local group Sunken Moon.
“And we’ll judge the costume competition in between stories at the communal fire pit,” she said.
