The Ostrich farm in Filsdorf held its annual Open Week-end on Saturday and Sunday.

As usual, the crowds came out to have a great time with tents and stalls erected in the farmyard, offering drinks as well as a range of ostrich produce - from ostrich burgers, sausages and steaks to eat, to South African wine, beer and other produce, as well as decorated eggs and ostrich leather goods as accessories; there was something for everyone, including guided tours to see the adult and baby ostriches on the farm.

In addition, various bands performed for the guests, on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

The parking field almost full and ensuring that the surrounding streets were kept clear of traffic. This year the sunny weather was the main contributing factor to having so many people attend, with Sunday lunchtime particularly busy.
