BibberChill2008 a Resounding Success
It all turned out well in the end. BibberChillFestival 2008 is back on the calendar as an undoubted success.
The weather was as good as we could expect for this time of the year – and fully justified the name of the Festival – yes, it was a bit chilly.
Traders could have done better and there are ideas to be followed up to ensure improved business for exhibitors next time.
The one thing we should be quite confident about is that the Festival does have a future and is well worth the considerable amount of effort put into it by a lot of people. This has also been confirmed to us by the number of people from outside Smithfield who have sung the Festival’s praises
There is also no doubt that the immense contribution by Letsatsi was an important factor in the day’s success. What is more, Johian van Zyl, one of the two partners in the game lodge, has made it clear that they see themselves as part of Smithfield and are keen to involve themselves in focussing more attention on the town.
Smiffie salutes not only all members of the committee, but also the large number of enthusiastic supporters who devoted much time, energy, as well as their own financial resources, towards really consolidating BibberChillFestival on the calendar as an annual event of importance.

As an outside visitor who went to the BibberChill for the first time, I must say I enjoyed it very much. Lots to do for the kids and plenty of good food and nice people. It was a very Boer happening, but that is what was so nice about it, it’s local, it’s proud Smithfield. Keep it on!
