Guitar winner

Eight-year-old Phoebe Beckers of Killcare Heights was the winner of the Cole Clarke guitar and case raffle drawn at CoastFest on Sunday, October 23.

The prize was valued at more than $1500 and was sponsored by the guitar manufacturers Cole Clark and local music retailers Peninsula Music.

Phoebe, who plays violin and attends Kincumber Public School, was "squealing with excitement" when told that she had won the main prize, according to her mother Janet Beckers.

The family attended CoastFest where they purchased the winning ticket.

When asked what they thought of the festival, Phoebe said: "This festival rocks. I want to come back next year."

The family particularly enjoyed a drum workshop with The Rhythm Hunters, according to Ms Beckers.
