Country Women’s Association of Victoria West Gippsland Group held its Creative Arts Exhibition at Cranbourne Public Hall on 18 and 19 October.
Group president Ann Laws said the exhibition had a display of Home Industries, which was all about cooking, preserves, crafts, knitting, patchworking, embroidery, sewing, photography, and flowers.
“This event is an opportunity for members of the Country Women’s Association to showcase their talents in those categories. We also invited about five residents from the retirement villages around the area,” she said.
“We had entrants from some of those people because it gave them an opportunity to showcase their craft and their talents and things because they probably don’t get that opportunity all that often.
“It’s a wonderful day. People sat around and chatted, and there were a couple of people there demonstrating crafts.
“There was card making, all free. You just have to sit in, quite a few people took away lovely gift cards that they made. And there were people knitting and crocheting and just showing people how to do things.”
Berwick MP Brad Battin attended the day.
