Weekend of festivities
The Bouddi Spring Weekend will take place from Saturday, October 3, to Monday, October 5, and will feature an art fair, pet show, book sale, fair trade day and a special dinner.
Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association secretary Ms Gay Bull said the weekend of festivities was the first area-wide event to be organised since the Bouddi 2000 Festival which welcomed in the new Millennium.
"It's all happening in the Bouddi area in October," Ms Bull said.
"Local community groups, businesses and individuals have joined with the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association to develop a program of events called the Bouddi Spring Weekend over the October long weekend.
"A highlight of the spring weekend is a three-day art fair at the Wagstaffe Hall featuring talented local artists, sculptors and photographers.
The art fair spills out into the adjacent square on Sunday, October 4, for craft stalls, a sausage sizzle, community group stalls and games for children.
"Other highlights include a pet show and book sale at MacMasters Beach Progress Hall, raising the flags at Killcare Beach, a fair trade fair at Hardy's Bay Community Church and a Moon Rise Dinner at Killcare's beautiful new surf club.
"The Moon Rise dinner will feature the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo and sticks together with an aboriginal smoking ceremony."
Art fair publicity officer Ms Jean Scott said the three-day Wagstaffe Art Fair would be opened by renowned Shakespearian actor, director and local resident Mr John Bell.
"The event will start at 2pm on Saturday, October 4, with musical performances and an opening speech by John.
"The 12 artists are all established local artists and there will be a diverse range from traditional to abstract paintings.
"Also displayed will be photography and sculptors by award winning artists.
"This is a community event with donations from sales being donated to Pretty Beach School and Wagstaffe Hall."
