Whiskey Making Show using the Prosser River.

First Act: 12 noon:
Step back in time to the late 1800s when John McConnon had an interest in River-moon-shining the illegal distillation of Whiskey at Levenbanks property in Levendale. The constables came out to arrest John, but as the story goes he said to them to stay and have a drink. They consumed too much and fell asleep. John McConnon then left on his best horse to Hobart Town. John McConnon ended up in New Zealand and he died in 1894.

Second Act: 12.30pm:
The local Shearer’s in the shearing shed all wanting attention from the pretty nurses of the RHH Burns Unit to deal with their cuts and burns.

Third Act: 1pm:
Mrs. Bellette found in her large feather bed drinking tea and telling some stories of how hard life was in Woodsdale.
