THE HERITAGE BANK FESTIVAL OF FOOD & WINE 20–22 SEPT TCOF.COM.AU
WELCOME FROM HERITAGE BANK Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers just keeps getting bigger and better, and is now rightly recognised as one of this country’s premier events. At Heritage Bank, we’re thrilled to play a part in bringing this magnificent event to life, in our 22nd year of sponsoring the Carnival. Last year we extended our sponsorship support to encompass the entire Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine, and what an amazing event that has become. Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine brings together under the one banner the three days of fantastic food, wine and live music that have become a focal part of the Carnival. It’s a chance to kick back and enjoy mouth-watering local foods and wines, hear from celebrity chefs, and sing along to some of the nation’s finest live musical acts over three days and nights. With John Farnham headlining the concert bill this year, we’re sure the event will be the biggest yet. Carnival celebrates this region’s fantastic lifestyle. It’s a chance for all of us to come together and revel in the glorious spring weather that showcases our gardens, our foods, our parks and our performers. Supporting the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is our way of thanking the community for supporting us. After all, just like the Carnival, Heritage Bank is also a Toowoomba icon that has been a huge part of this community for many years. Welcome to the Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine and enjoy the best that this region has to offer. PETER LOCK
Chief Executive Officer, Heritage Bank
