Our raffle winner for the sewing machine was Lyn McDowell from Boorowa. Janice Martin from Harden finally got to meet her idol Libby Richardson and had some great photos taken.
Janice unfortunately was rushed to hospital on Saturday night after becoming ill from her recent open heart surgery but is recovering in the Harden hospital, so we wish her well.
Our next year tutors will be, Alison Cole (gold work), Irene Blanc (needle turn), Chris Jurd (paper piercing), and Debbie Stevens (UFO’S). If anyone wishes to book for next year, ( lay-by system is available), please contact Julie on 63867267.

About 35 kids, dressed up in their creative outfits, walked the streets on Friday evening seeking a trick or treat but with the fullness of their bags or buckets, treats were the go.
It was rewarding and the kids were very grateful to those house holders who were very generous with their contributions.
The hall was beautifully decorated by Joeann, Jamie, Rheaennen, Jamie J, Michael and Brodie Killick for the occassion with flashing coloured lights adding to the atmosphere. Dad Jamie played a great role as DJ for the disco.
A barbecue and drink was most acceptable with a few adults joining in to make the evening a great success.

The long awaited ‘Swap Meet and Craft Fair’ will be held on the oval this Sunday, November 9, so hopefully a big crowd will be in attendance.

The old pony shed has been pulled down and thanks to Sibelco a new shed is being erected with the workmen busying themselves to have it in readiness for this weekend. More on an opening at a later date. ***
Just two tips from Glenda’s garden: egg shells will deter snails and slugs as they don’t like crawling over them and place any white pieces of plastic among your plants to attract the white butterflies to lay their eggs.

It was mighty dry out west and hadn’t rained for months and a farmer used to come out from his homestead each morning, scan the heavens for any sign of rain but there was nothing but blue skies and brazen sun.
The last of his tanks for drinking water were bone dry except for an open-top one on the corner of a small shed.
One morning he came out and his eyes swept the sky then he made a visual sweep lower down and his eyes focussed on the tank at the corner of the shed.
He froze like a pointer setting a quail, his whiskers went stiff and he let out a bellow like an angry bull, as standing in the water in the open tank was the new rouseabout in his birthday suit.
Seeing the farmers apoplectic complexion he called out cheerily,”Keep calm, sir, I’m not using any soap.”
