Benalla Festival Hay Bale Art

Having been enthusiastic followers of the festivals in Umbria these past months, we decided we should be more active during the Benalla Festival which is running now.

On Sunday we did the Hay Bale Art Touring Trail which involved following a map to visit the entrants in this competition. Some were in town and others were in the rural districts around town, there was an open section and one for the schools. There were 32 entrants and they were all clever. Below are just a few of my favourites.
