It’s hoped that record numbers will turn out to this year’s Annual Art & Craft Expo at Tea Gardens Public School.

Newly elected P&C President Fiona Mobbs said, “This is our biggest fundraiser, and without Instrumental people like Jude Woodfield, the whole P&C Committee and all of our volunteer helpers, we wouldn’t be able to raise these much needed funds.”

The event will kick off on opening night by raffling many prizes.

Opening night is Thursday the 24 March at 6:30pm.

The commitee is urging locals and visitors to get along for a great night out whilst supporting the local school.

The $20 entry fee includes a glass of bubbly, delicious supper, music by Carly Jacobson and Tanya Keys and a free courtesy bus service.

To use the courtesy bus service, you will need to pre-book your seat by calling the school on 4997 0286.

Ms Mobbs said, “We are very thankful to all of the local businesses for their very kind donations and to Galleries in the Gardens for their continued support.”

“Some of the raffle prizes include, Shark & Ray Centre Family Passes, 2 Nights Accommodation at the Mantra Aqua Nelsons Bay, Moonshadow Cruise, Accommodation at Ocean Side Hawks Nest and so many more.”

Rachel Syron will be giving a live demonstration over the weekend.

Freda Surgenor will be giving us some insight to her technique also.

There are many family activities arranged including plaster painting, sand art and spin art.

There is also face painting on Good Friday.

The students from Mrs. Bryant’s “Sprouts” class pictured above were very pleased with their spin art results.
