Art and craft fair opens on

The Pearl Beach Art and Craft Fair will be held on November 9 and 10.

The fair will open with an exhibition featuring the works of the Pearl Beach Craft and Art Group at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall from 6pm on Friday, November 9.

It will be open from 9am to 5:30pm on Saturday.

"The exhibition includes paintings, handcrafts, jewellery, ceramics, pottery, sculptures, photography and cards hand crafted by 18 individuals," said association publicity officer Ms Lynne Lillico.

"Over the years, the group has supported many charities and this year is no exception with the group holding a Farmers Raffle.

"Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Appeal to help Australian farmers and communities living in severely drought-affected regions.

"Funds raised through the appeal will be distributed where they are needed most, ensuring community input," Ms Lillico said.

The raffle will be drawn at the end of the fair and will include prizes donated by fair exhibitors.
