When the McDonalds Camp Quality Puppets were ready to visit the local school, only two of the cars assigned to the school visit had arrived in town from the morning’s drive. The Puppeteers called out to the other esCarpadians, who were still having their lunch, to ask if they could boost the number to visit the school.
Moments later, there were no less than 13 cars lined up behind them! The school kids and their teachers were thrilled – the esCarpadians almost outnumbered the kids at the tiny school – and it was a beautiful example of the generous spirit of the Camp Quality esCarpade.
Meanwhile, some esCarpadians popped across the road to the Mallee Tourist & Heritage Centre. Highlights include the letterpress printing museum, a collection of restored stationary engines, tractors, farm and household memorabilia, a fascinating display of over 1,000 cereal varieties, and a section devoted to the contribution made by women in the settlement of the Mallee.
