Appetite for food events

FOODIES with an appetite for adventure have snapped up tickets to Scenic Rim Eat Local Week events just days after the program launched.

Eat Local Week, from June 26 to July 4, will boast the biggest line-up in its 10-year history with more than 125 events across 48 locations.

Already the Winter Italian Feast at The Overflow Estate 1895 has sold out and there are fewer than 10 tickets remaining for The Long Lunch.

Dinner under the Stars with the Scenic Rim Astronomy Association in Laravale is sold out, while Mt Barney Lodge has added a second Sunset Eco Tour.

“Tickets sales are showing that people really are after a range of experiences, from the marque dining adventures, to cooking classes, kids activities and overnight stays and tours,” Scenic Rim Regional Council Mayor Greg Christensen said.
