That's it. The order of 35 has been filled. Any subsequent requests for a copy will go on a waiting list and if we get a minimum of 20 we can do a second print at a discount rate. Otherwise it's regular price.

Who is going to order the last copy of Lobethal Relics in this first bulk order? Anymore orders after this will go onto a waiting list.
This is my 'Relic'. The ruins of Pantakora, the Zilm homestead built in 1878 just outside Booleroo Centre.

Thanks to all who have ordered 'Lobethal Relics' books. Only 3 left of the first run of 35. If interest continues I'll start a waiting list and if there is enough interest we'll do another run. But we'll need a minimum of 20 to get any bulk order discounts.
Next, remember that our May History Festival scheduled openings have concluded. Thanks to those who attended. We revert to our normal openings in June.
Lastly, was given an old Lobethal Public Primary school photo. Related to anyone in there?

If readers still want a copy, let me know. I will see if there is enough demand for a second order of 20 copies. A second order will not proceed unless I can fill the order. I don't wish to be left with books that I can't sell. Thanks for your understanding.

Well that's it for LA&HM done for this year's History Festival Month. A quiet morning at the Museum after giving an address to the Lutheran Congregation on the theme of 'Connections' using my experience as a focus. Finished the day with some visitors with connection to the Hirthe family. Ended up discovering other friendship connections. Thanks for sharing. Thanks all who visited over the 4 Open Days.

Trip into Adelaide to pick up Art Supplies for the Museum's refreshing displays program, when I passed my favourite statue. In keeping with this month's History Festival theme, a connection jumped out at me. Lobethal's John Hartley Moore is listed on the memorial. Another acknowledgement of his service and ultimate sacrifice. Thanks.
