It will be held at the Tocumwal Memorial Hall from 10.30am to 1.30pm on Thursday, May 22, and the $15 entry fee includes continuous sweet and savoury refreshments throughout the event.
There will be live entertainment including line dancing and the Ukeladies, a door prize donated by Vintage Wood ‘n’ That, and raffles.
A highlight will be the well-stocked plant stall with flowering winter annuals, succulents and perennials, as well as produce and preserves.
The town’s two op-shops will donate proceeds of the day to the Cancer Council for cancer research and education.
Wrapped for winter returns
Once again Campaspe Libraries invites community members to enter their handiwork into the annual Wrapped for Winter community exhibition.
The exhibition will feature handmade shawls and scarves — wearable items to wrap around for winter warmth — using yarn or textiles that can be crocheted, knitted, sewn or embellished or using any other crafty technique.
Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell said it was a fantastic opportunity for talented Campaspe residents to showcase their craft.
Entry is free and open now until Monday, May 26. Submissions can be delivered to your closest Campaspe library branch or depot.
The exhibition will be open to the public at Campaspe Libraries locations in June and July, and visitors will be invited to vote for People’s Choice awards.
Once the exhibition is closed, entrants will have the option to donate their submission to the Echuca Moama Community Project’s ‘Coat and Blanket Drive’.
George the Farmer with the ‘edu-tainment’ brand founder Simone Kain.
Rabobank’s Rabo Community Fund has partnered with the ‘edu-tainment’ brand ‘George the Farmer’ for the fourth consecutive year to celebrate Children’s Book Week.
This collaboration aims to educate children about the origins of their food and fibre during Children’s Book Week, which will be held from August 16 to 23.
The partners will award 72 educational institutions across Australia with a collection of 14 Australian-made George the Farmer picture storybooks for their libraries.
Since launching the partnership, Rabobank has donated more than 5700 George the Farmer books to educational institutions across the country.
George the Farmer began as an interactive story app in 2015 and founder Simone Kain has since expanded the brand to include virtual reality experiences, music, performances and videos, as well as free, curriculum-aligned educational resources.
To date, Ms Kain said more than 660,000 children aged four to 10 across Australia have benefited from these free educational resources, covering diverse topics such as apples, chickpeas, wheat, wool, farm safety and dairy.
