KNYSNA NEWS - Two major industry players have signed up to exhibit at this year's Knysna Timber Festival from 29 September to 1 October.
“The event will take place as #KnysnaRises after the fires that devastated the Garden Route in June, and we're expecting it to be an awesome and very positive opportunity for everyone who has an interest in timber – professionals, builders, woodworkers, hobbyists, and homeowners alike – to get together to share ideas and inspiration,” said festival manager Picca de Bruin.
“The Timber Festival will go ahead at our traditional venue, Timber Village in Welbedacht Lane, which was completely ruined in the fires but is currently being rebuilt.
“And while we're obviously deeply aware that the old sheds are no longer there, the indoor exhibitions at the festival have always taken place in separate marquees that we've always erected specifically for the expo.”
De Bruin said that two of the country's biggest importers and suppliers of woodworking power tools and accessories, Strand Hardware and Vermont Sales, have between them booked all the available floor space in one of the festival's two marquees. A varied mix of manufacturers will attend the festival. To read the full story go to www.knysnaplettherald.com.
