Narrandera's John O'Brien Festival is made up of many people spruiking their talents to an appreciative audience whilst others put in many hours behind-the-scenes. It is the people that make the festival great, one that sticks in the minds of attendees long after the show is over. If you would like to help make the next festival great, see where you can participate...
