associate’s degree she was the first to receive a four-year degree a bachelor’s in community health from SUNY Cortland and with the help of faculty and friends at College brother and sister were all there to witness this historic family moment “I’m going to be on my knees crying,” said Candelo “I never thought I’d get to this point through all of these struggles It’s significant for me to have my parents be there for that moment.” The moment was so important to the Candelo family that her parents carefully put money aside for months saving to hire a driver to take them from New York to Cortland with a detour to pick up her younger brother at SUNY Delhi just weeks before Michelle Candelo was scheduled to walk across the stage at Commencement who was due to get his associate’s degree from SUNY Delhi later this month was diagnosed with lymphoma and needed surgery to remove a tumor The money the family had been saving for their Cortland trip went instead toward the brother’s medical expenses learned about the situation at the end of a casual conversation with Michelle Candelo a normally cheerful and constantly smiling student worker in the College Health Department Candelo had stopped by to thank Curtis for setting up a tutor for one of her most challenging courses At the end of that conversation Curtis asked “How is everything else going?” Candelo’s life story spilled out in conversation with Curtis to  pick up the Candelo family in New York on his way back to Cortland from a work assignment in the Washington SUNY Cortland’s associate director of international programs Some SUNY Cortland friends have started a GoFundMe page to raise the roughly $300 needed to rent a van to take the Candelo family back home she legally immigrated to New York City with her mother and younger siblings Her father had traveled back and forth between the United States and Colombia for years Now they had an opportunity to start a new life together Michelle Candelo was enrolled as a freshman at The International High School at the Lafayette Educational Complex in Brooklyn She taught herself the language through dedication in the classroom and lots of popular music and television shows two years after the family first came together in New York Candelo’s father had an illness that forced him to miss work Candelo returned home from school one day to find the family’s mattresses and television laid out on the sidewalk The Candelo family found refuge in a homeless shelter after three days on the streets The Candelos would live there for the next eight months before getting back on their feet Candelo journeyed two hours each way each day from the shelter in the Bronx to her school in Brooklyn With no computer or internet connection at the shelter Candelo would stay after school to do her homework and then stick around for basketball practice She had to navigate her way back to the Bronx on buses and trains before the 10 p.m curfew or else she’d be locked out for the night Although Michelle Candelo studied with other Spanish-speakers from around the world at International High After a decade of attending the same Catholic schools together her brother and sister were enrolled at middle schools in other parts of New York “It was all new for us,” she said “My mom was crying because my brother and sister were in different schools Candelo found solace and built confidence on the basketball court Lafayette girls’ basketball head coach Kareem Benson recruited her for the team because of her height Benson also inspired Candelo to work hard in the classroom telling her that her mix of smarts and athletic ability would help her earn a college acceptance letter Candelo graduated from high school and studied at SUNY Sullivan for two years College education for Michelle Candelo and her siblings wasn’t part of the plan for the Candelo family when they immigrated to New York A lack of jobs and opportunity in Colombia was the driving force behind the move Michelle Candelo remains in touch electronically with her friends from Colombia and she says many of them are hoping to follow in her footsteps “So many people wish to be in my situation and I feel lucky that I’m here and I’m trying to get an education and do the right thing,” Michelle Candelo said “This is something big and I’m making history Neither of my parents graduated from high school I went to get my associate’s degree and now I’m almost close to getting my bachelor’s I never thought I’d get this far in my life with all of the struggles I went through when we became homeless back in 2012 I came here and I wanted to achieve my dreams but once you leave your country Michelle Candelo plans to work in youth counseling helping teenagers who are marginalized because of ethnicity or language or family finances “I want to be able to help teenagers,” Michelle Candelo said “I know what it’s like to be an immigrant I know what it’s like to be a Latina I know what it’s like to struggle with language barriers I know what it’s like to be homeless I know what it’s like to be the first person in your family to graduate from high school and community college.” she’ll complete her studies in a health internship in London an opportunity arranged through Gebhardt and the international programs office Jena Curtis marvels at Michelle Candelo’s persistence For all of the challenges thrown Candelo’s way And yet she still goes out of her way to thank all of those who have done things on her behalf as she’s navigated toward a college degree “Michelle's perception of her life is that she's been blessed with so many good people who have helped her do this,” Jena Curtis said is all about this wonderful coach who saw her and saw potential and said hey “You're smart enough to go to college.” He told her that if she didn't keep her grades up “Her perception is that people have done amazing things for her,” Jena Curtis continued “She wants very much to work with inner-city youth who are at-risk because they don't have the best home lives or family lives and she wants to help those young people make good decisions Her sense is that she had people do that for her She was so lucky to have those people and she wants to be that person for other kids.” Michelle Candelo was a scared high school freshman in a new country trying to learn the language and the culture thanks to those who helped prepare her for college and those who helped her succeed in college Candelo picked up her diploma with her parents on hand as witnesses “I’m so grateful that I met people who were willing to help me,” Michelle Candelo said “They knew that I wanted to work so hard to make my goals possible I want to show them that anything is possible as long as you work hard for yourself and you have discipline and you stay humble and you know what you want That’s going to take you far.” We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your website experience and help us

Venezuelan hair braider with Colombian parentsShe fulfilled her 'dream' of styling the hair of several Colombian players before a match in the 2023 Women's World CupBraiding is an extremely complex process and few Spanish-speaking stylists in Australia can do it From a young age Mily Candelo watched her mother braid the hair of clients at their home in Guacara Melbourne-based Ms Candelo is herself a specialist in hair braiding a practice she says has long been closely intertwined with historical and cultural identity Braider Mily Candelo with Colombian striker Linda Caicedo Credit: Mily CandeloJust before the pandemic Ms Candelo began to practice braiding with models “That's how I started,” she tells SBS Spanish I accepted my roots [because] I used to straighten my hair.” This acceptance meant leaving “her Afro hair natural" and braiding her hair herself She says that before becoming a hair braider and micropigmentation specialist she worked in several industries outside the beauty sector Braiding is a term used to describe a traditional hair style in which strands of hair are finely interwoven close to the scalp ever since we were children.Mily CandeloThese braids are often done in simple but the hair can also be braided in geometric shapes which traditionally often served to identify an individual's kinship Linda thought cancer ended her football dreams Now she's a star of the Women's World Cup The colour and the costumes: Colombian fans are confident their side can keep winning England beats Colombia and sets up Women's World Cup Semifinal with Australia We intended to escape back over the fence where a few hours earlier we’d begun our dawn incursion But now the imposing silhouette of the farmer was standing there waiting for us his ute and dog outlined against the clear morning sky “How ya goin’?’” he greeted us in a friendly Aussie twang “Sorry I wasn’t here earlier to unlock the gate!” The twang – and the property – belong to Barry Moffitt a local dairy farmer who acquired the Kameruka Estate in 2018 The historic property occupies 1,400 hectares of beautiful rolling farmland around Kameruka and Candelo in the southern New South Wales hinterland about 20 minutes’ drive inland from the coastal town of Merimbula At its epoch in the 1800s through to World War I Kameruka Estate stretched across more than 162,000 hectares making it one of Australia’s largest cattle runs and the home to nearly 1,000 dairy workers living in villages built around three separate cheese factories Generations of families lived and worked on the estate establishing the foundations of the Bega Valley cheese industry and the nascent Bega Cheese Cooperative For more than 150 years Kameruka was stewarded by members of the Lucas-Tooth family but especially by one particular patriarch of the Tooth’s Brewing fortune – Sir Robert Lucas-Tooth had a Jane Austen-esque vision for the property – an idealised tribute to the mother country several schools and numerous cottages to house the aforementioned communities of dairy workers and their families The Lords View Cricket Oval was added as entertainment for the workers and in 1885 the estate hosted a touring English XI who played against an Australian team in one of the earliest contests between the two great cricketing nations how did I come to be jumping a fence onto a Kameruka paddock in the year 2020 It just so happens that more than a century earlier Tooth also commissioned the creation of a nine-hole golf course … The Kameruka Golf Course story began for me in a COVID-inspired conversation with Golf Australia magazine Editor “I think I’d like to visit some regional NSW courses this year since I can’t fly anywhere,” I said He considered this a moment then leaned in conspiratorially … “There’s a legend of an abandoned course around Kameruka or Candelo designed by none other than Laurie Auchterlonie.” Could it be that one of that era’s most famous golfing families had established a beachhead in Australia years before the celebrated visit of Dr Alister MacKenzie Could Kameruka be to Australia what Askernish is to Scotland A lost course with the pedigree of a legendary St A few days later I mentioned Kameruka to golf course architect Harley Kruse and I could see that something tweaked with him a half-formed thought that he kept to himself A few weeks passed and Harley phoned … “Hey Adrian remember that lost Auchterlonie course we were talking about Harley had been tipped off while consulting on a course in a nearby town there was an abandoned course on the estate – it wasn’t a mystery to the locals – they fondly recalled a humble old nine-holer with sand-scrape greens and minimal maintenance They say it had once had grass greens and was considered a course of some note but its gradual decline was complete in the early 2000s when its broken-down condition just wasn’t viable anymore and people stopped going there to play golf And so Harley followed the trail to local dairy farmer Barry Moffitt – Kameruka Estate’s present day owner Harley asked if he could take a look around Don’t know why you’d be interested in that paddock But what Harley found that day on Barry’s paddock might be one of Australia’s most historically significant pieces of golf course architecture outside of MacKenzie’s legacy The course is set on a beautiful parcel of land dominated by a central hill and bordered on two sides by Candelo Creek It’s lightly wooded with some big country-sized eucalypts and dotted here and there with European pines which are a striking addition to the landscape Harley came across a beautiful hand drawn map of the course that laid bare the location of all the greens Harley and I would later walk the property map-in-hand “There should be a green just over this hill”… and there it is… “A tee over by that fence”… found it… “Some bunkers here And here’s the thing – it’s a really fascinating design The 1st tee has a white railed fence around it on three sides Its reason for being is quite inscrutable but it’s also a handsome looking structure From there you’re presented with a thrilling elevated tee shot that must carry over Candelo Creek into a beautiful big open playing field A 100-year-old kiosk is set in the base of the hill near the intersection of the 1st and 8th greens and where a suspension bridge once spanned the creek but got washed away in a big flood A series of holes hug the curves of a lovely valley along the western boundary while other holes travel up hill and down dale There’s an infinity green at the highest point of the course while another green is set in a massive punchbowl – wonderful design features that have their roots on the great courses of Scotland Several tee shots cross back over the previous hole and there’s multiple tee options that significantly change the character of each hole pot and coffin bunkers as well as some unique hazards including a row of cross bunkers shaped in a form that can only be described as two hamburgers linked by a donut there’s a randomness to the bunkering and a quirk to the mounds and green complexes that evokes a definite Scottish sensibility It’s immediately obvious that nothing like this exists elsewhere in Australia and would be rare to find in its original state even in the United Kingdom Kameruka represents the only specimen of this branch of golf course architecture in Australia It took root in this one isolated community and there were no Mick Morcoms or Alex Russells to propagate it to other towns But is this designed by the hand of Laurie Auchterlonie To answer that we must return to Sir Robert Lucas Tooth and the years leading up to World War I Sir Robert devised a plan which was to be executed by his manager This would include the construction of a hostel to attract holiday-makers and the added attraction of a nine-hole course designed by Laurie Auchterlonie Sir Robert soon put his plan into action by dispatching a golf professional named Ernest Banks to implement Auchterlonie’s design Little is known of Banks’ past except that he was believed to be the professional at Dover Golf Club in England – another course Shipping records show Banks and his wife arrived in Sydney in 1914 aboard the Ceramic From there they corresponded with Champneys and arranged to travel down the coast to initially stay in the Candelo Hotel then likely staying in a cottage on the estate for the duration of the course construction with the commencement of hostilities in Europe Sir Robert remained in England with his three sons all of whom would serve as officers for the British Army in the Great War But unthinkable tragedy befell the Tooth family with all three sons dying in active service two of them in some of the opening skirmishes of the war Sir Robert himself passed away just months later in February 1915 at his home in England His final instructions were to “continue my work.” Champneys’ management report for the week ending August 14 recorded: “Golf course finished … Banks employed daily going over greens rolling etc… Excavation work and making bunkers started by a gang of men with horses and carts in April and have been fully kept at it ever since.” A contemporary report in Candelo’s local newspaper stated: “The golf links are beginning to show the result of careful work the links will be among the best in the state.” it seems Auchterlonie himself didn’t come to Australia and the historical record points to the course being the work of Ernest Banks more than likely working off Auchterlonie’s plans as commissioned by Sir Robert before his death "Kameruka represents the only specimen of this branch of golf course architecture in Australia It took root in this one isolated community and there were no Mick Morcoms or Alex Russells to propagate it to other towns." Regardless of the provenance of the design what is evident to this day is that it was undoubtedly a fascinating and unique piece of work he moved to Sydney when Kameruka was finished and he served at Bonnie Doon Golf Club but didn’t design or build another golf course While Sir Robert died before the end of construction the golf course was perhaps Kameruka’s most personal remnant of his legacy The small scattering of European pine that features on the property are said to have been propagated from three original saplings planted in honour for each of Sir Robert’s three fallen sons the original card of the course shows the holes are named for World War I battlefields: ‘Gallipoli’ Harley served as guide for my visit to Kameruka We’d arranged with Barry Moffitt for a gate on the western boundary of the course to be unlocked so we could enter at daybreak to take some photos and walk the course in the most favourable morning light Barry ended up forgetting to unlock the gate we easily jumped the fence and made our way down a little cattle trail that leads onto what was once the 4th fairway a twisty hole that runs along a valley floor From the moment I set foot on it I was struck by the serenity of the setting and the suitability of the ground for golf Harley and I enjoyed a peaceful couple of hours wandering around pointing at features in the ground and imagining how it must have once been As word slowly gets out about the lost course at Kameruka a small consortium of interested parties is forming to initiate its restoration For Harley Kruse it is both a passion project and a duty he feels must be carried out for the historical significance of the course to Australian golf Harley himself said it best: “The hand-built course at Kameruka is like nothing else in Australia it was created completely independently of those with the ideas and skills that had been forming the golf holes of the evolving Melbourne and Sydney golfing landscapes Many hundreds of miles away Kameruka has been untouched and locked away in place and time.” It is most worthy of bringing back to life not only as a unique and historic piece of golfing architecture in this country but for the truly fun and relevant golf experience some 105 years after its making,” he said Harley and I made our way back up the cattle trail to the fence It was here that I first met Barry Moffitt Barry helped us out through the now-unlocked gate and when he extended an arm to greet me I noticed a hastily scribbled reminder on his hand – “golf.” I think he at least recognises a kinship with our quest We chatted a while and said our goodbyes but before he jumped in his ute he looked back at Harley and me with an expression I recognised as something like pity RIGHT: The green of the 110-yard 7th hole was surrounded by at least seven bunkers “I figure you blokes must be addicted to this golf thing The following is an extract from a course review that appeared in Sydney’s The Sun newspaper in March 1917 under the headline South Coast Golf Course and from a golfing point of view is very sporting indeed At the first hole (310 yards) the carry for the drive is across a creek and may be considered a really good drive if negotiated The fairway is bunkered for the pull and slice and the ground surrounding the green is also heavily bunkered for the erratic player 2 (220 yards) is of drive and chip variety the approach to the green is a very awkward shot The third hole (360 yards) is one of the best of its kind A good drive is essential here to open up the approach to the green as there is a gully running across the line of approach which adds a great deal of charm to this hole is made fairly secure from indifferent play The fourth hole (290 yards) is up a valley One gets hardly any run on the ball at this hole so that it may safely be termed the drive and iron length There is no room here to pull or slice as there are trees on both sides of the fairway The fifth hole (350 yards) is placed on a rise The carry for the drive is of good length and may be considered fairly stiff by some – here the smiter has a chance to open his shoulders The badly pulled shot will invariably find its penalty by rolling down a slope making the green impossible to reach with the next stroke The sliced ball will be among trees or out of bounds if badly sliced leaving plenty of room for a straight approach The sixth hole (410 yards) is down a slope and requires straight play for there are no less than 12 bunkers (for erratic play) through the fairway and guarding the green The seventh hole (110 yards) is very appropriately named “Hades.” Many bunkers will penalise a poor shot At the eighth hole (460 yards) the fairway is slightly on the bend all the way Long grass guards the sides of the fairway The carry from the tee is of a very good length At the ninth hole (260 yards) the green is of the basin variety PATERSON – A 28-year-old city man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault for allegedly firing a handgun while two police officers were trying to apprehend him on the balcony of a 5th Ward apartment building Neither of the two officers – Jovan Candelo and Thomas Giaquinto – fired his gun during the incident The muzzle of the suspect’s .22-caliber handgun was pointed towards the officers when he allegedly fired it was being chased by the officers because he matched the description of someone who had fired a gun on a city street a short time earlier who is being held at the Passaic County Jail also was charged with weapons offenses and violation of a law that bans convicted felons from having guns but police did not release information about it until Friday Health: Paterson may pull AIDS funding from Well of Hope Schools: Paterson: School district to pay $15k in dispute over child with autism News: Solar power pitched by Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis for Paterson The incident started when Candelo and Giaquinto responded to Summer Street after the city’s sound-activated gunshot detection system reported five shots being fired, police said. A citizen gave the officers a description of the shooter and a companion, police said. A short time afterwards, Candelo and Giaquinto saw two men matching the descriptions on 20th Avenue, police said. But the suspects started running and the officers chased after them, police said. Candelo and Giaquinto followed one suspect – Adamson - into an apartment complex, where they caught up to him near the second floor balcony, police said. After allegedly firing the gun once, Adamson allegedly discarded the weapon when the officers pulled out their own guns, police said. Meanwhile, the other suspect escaped. Adamson previously served 10 months in prison in 2014 after being convicted of conspiracy to committee robbery, according to state corrections department records. Adamson had been part of group of about seven people charged in an armed robbery ring that targeted food delivery and taxi drivers and used women as decoy passengers, authorities said at the time of the crimes. Adamson also was convicted of selling crack cocaine in 2009, according to court records. Forensic police spend time at Candelo store where two people died.

Here's what we knowTopic:Explainer which is shared by members of the community Picture by Ellouise Bailey A resource-sharing initiative called Candelo Go has established a working car share system and hopes to launch other arrangements like tool or food sharing projects for people in the Bega Valley All articles from our websiteThe digital version of Today's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueThe community-based initiative was set up as a passion project by a number of people from Candelo on the Far South Coast of NSW It started when president Robyn Martin decided to offer her van to the community in exchange for a donation and changing my lifestyle from so busy to having more time." Ms Martin wanted to reduce the expense of owning a vehicle but still wanted to have access to one due to the nature of living in a small regional town and the lack of available public transport Robyn Martin with her van that was initially used by Candelo Go in the community vehicle share project Picture supplied Candelo Go was born in 2018 after Ms Martin asked a group of locals to form a committee with her For a while the van was the only available vehicle however a Honda Jazz was eventually purchased by the group after the parents of a committee member decided to update their own car The Honda Jazz was given the name Little Miles after jazz singer Miles Davis and a nod to his album Kind of Blue Little Miles offered community members a smaller more economical vehicle than the van Ms Martin's van was removed from the system and returned to being a private vehicle for her as she needed it more once her touring music career really kicked off Interesting to note was that Little Miles was purchased by the group using the Bega Valley LETS trading system using Sapphires or "Sapphs" instead of dollars saved and used to purchase goods and services at the community level The trades are often made through bartering Although the ride share initiative started out as a rental service offered by donation the committee soon realised it was too challenging for people so instead worked out an affordable fixed price The price to hire the vehicle is $10 per day plus 0.10c per km but the group has been flexible with those on lower incomes Little Miles can also be hired using Sapphs "It's much cheaper than hire car companies who are also paying staff This is a volunteer organisation," said Ms Martin The vehicle can be booked by members using a shared Google calendar with money deposited into Candelo Go's bank account the van was used for events like bucks parties and by touring musicians Picture supplied The price was determined after the group looked at the usage the car was getting (currently 7 to 10 days per month) and factored in its running and maintenance costs The idea isn't to make a profit but it has been covering rego "We are putting a little extra aside each year so that by the time the vehicle is expired we should have enough to purchase another vehicle," said Ms Martin Little Miles is stored at Saint Peter's Anglican Church in Candelo through an agreement with the church Ms Martin said before the van was retired it was used for events like bucks parties and by touring musicians but also works well for people with accessibility challenges "One person had to transport an elderly person and their car was too big and awkward to get into so they used the little car and could take them around," said Ms Martin The idea behind Candelo Go had always been to branch out into other resource-sharing initiatives "The vision right from the start was that we would be set up to respond to any need in the community food share - or anything really," said Ms Martin Candelo Go also has a 10 person licence for accounting software and hoped to establish more initiatives in the coming years The only issue was that many of the six committee members were time poor Candelo Go would be happy for community members to express their interest in joining if they have a vision to create more sharing arrangements Membership to Candelo Go costs $10 per year and membership forms can be accessed online using this form Our journalists work hard to provide local This is how you can access our trusted content: Bookmark www.begadistrictnews.com.au Make sure you are signed up for our breaking and regular headlines newsletters Follow us on Twitter: @Bega_News Follow us on Instagram: @begadistrictnews Queensland Country Life reporter based in Rockhampton and reporting on agriculture in the central Queensland region.

ABC News News HomeABC Rural Old fellas and young fellas plan for farm's futureStephanie WatsonABC Rural Greg, Ian and David Heffernan, on the family dairy farm in Candelo, NSW (Stephanie Watson) Link copiedShareShare articleA family of dairy farmers in south-east NSW say the key to succession planning is open communication and lots of it. Cousins, Ian and Greg Heffernan, of Candelo, recently bought their Uncle out of the family business and are now equal partners with Dad's, David and Roger. David Heffernan says it's hard, working with family and planning for the future at the same time. "You've got to talk. We don't do enough of it. I can tell you that right now. "We don't sit down enough and plan things. "These young fellas get different ideas to me, about different practises they have today. "It drives me nuts but I've got to accept that. "Sometimes you get the pig up but it doesn't do you any good. "You're better off talking about it, getting it out of your system and just moving on." David says succession planning isn't just about shoring up the future of the family business though; it's about holding onto their 'home' as well. "Being a family, I'd like to see it keep going from what Mum and Dad started with, from bloody nothing, to what we've got today; it's a big enterprise. "Also the brothers and sisters and their kids still call this home and that's what makes it important. "It's a business but it's also home, and that's what we like about it." David's son Ian, agrees, that the process of succession planning can be hard at times but he hopes it will all be worth it in the end. "It's hard for us to get around these old fellas heads sometimes. "Yeah they've done the hard yards but there are easier ways and means of doing things these days. "We don't get around on a horse and sulky, we've got tools now that can get us around pretty quickly. "I'd also like to think that these old fellas appreciate having us here, making their job easier and then one day, they might say that they're proud of us, for getting on and doing it. "By that time the next generation might be coming up to succession planning and we might be looking at buying caravans and getting out of here, that’d be alright." CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced they have stepped back into the public eye to support a worthy cause Since they won the popular television show they have been adjusting to life back in Candelo enjoying time with their children and getting used to their celebrity status.  “I think Toad’s always been a celebrity here in the Bega Valley. A lot of people know Toad and his family,” Mandy said.  not really hassling us or anything just a lot of congratulations because we’re just normal people and we will say hi back. We don’t really see ourselves as celebrities Toad and Mandy helped raised funds for the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners at a barbecue in Bega hosted by the Commonwealth Bank Bega and Bega Rotary Club.  The $6000 raised from the barbecue and other efforts of the Commonwealth Bank were to be used to purchase hay and fuel the trucks transporting it across NSW, and it is a cause that resonates with the couple, who are themselves dairy farmers. Toad said they had been “sort of thrown in the deep end” after being away for so long and coming home to no rain and no feed and NSW being 100 per cent in drought was “no laughing matter” “At this point in time it’s really tough,” he said.   we’ve still got a bit of water. But as far as it goes trying to buy hay and grain and everything is near on impossible.”  it was nearly unaffordable so you would end up losing money to feed your cows.  “But we know there’s other farmers that are doing it way worse,” Mandy said.  saying he thought they were lucky to live in the Bega Valley and he knew the drought would eventually break “Every good drought ends in rain,” he said.  The couple plans to hold their wedding next year.  “Hopefully it’s rained by then and we can afford to have a decent honeymoon,” Toad said.  Bega District News Candelo festival directors said they were pleasantly surprised with the calibre of artists who put themselves forth to perform at the festival to be held on Saturday April 17 All articles from our website & appThe digital version of Today's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxInteractive Crosswords Sudoku and TriviaAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueScenes from The Candelo Village Festival in 2019 Photo: Angi HighThe festival will kick off at 10am with a Welcome to Country by Aunty Colleen and festival directors said that it will probably kick on until about 11pm in the night Festival director Tamlyn Magee said the main street of Candelo will be closed down and decorated with "festival vibes."
