Sale funds used to buy equipment

Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre will use funds raised at its annual Christmas exhibition and sale to purchase equipment for the centre, service its office equipment, for gardening and general maintenance and repairs.

EBACC committee member, Ms Penny Howard said the 2016 Christmas Exhibition and Fair was "a very successful weekend thanks to the hard work from all involved.

"A lot of positive feedback was received regarding the high standard of the setup, organisation and items for sale," Ms Howard said.

"Our members are not only skilful artists but they can cook up a storm and none could resist the sweet and savoury delights for sale.

"A visit from Big Bad Bart and Daisy May had us all laughing and the sweet refrains from the a capella quartet Topaz kept us all singing along.

"The children made wonderful sun catchers and then moved along to enter the colouring in competition and there were plenty of happy faces at the end of the day.

"It was pleasing to see a steady flow of visitors during the weekend and the time flew by so all-in-all it was a joyful event with a great atmosphere," she said.
