The Natimuk Fringe was started in 2000 after a joking kitchen session with Richard and Christine Smith, Mary French and Greg Pritchard. It was conceived as a Fringe to Art is… and they gave Greg $100 and put us in their publicity. The events were, from memory, a sculpture exhibition in Hugh and Del’s café, a curry and beer contest in the hall, a music jam in the rotunda, and some art attacks.
