Whether it’s Christmas gifts, local produce, something for the garden or a special treat for yourself you’re after, you’ll find it among the myriad of stalls and displays at this Saturday’s Killabakh Day in the Country.
Why not take the family to the beautiful rural locality between 10am and 3pm to enjoy the community’s art and craft exhibition?
This popular annual event is in its 23rd year and the community has again planned a great range of attractions, activities and antics.
This major event in the Manning Valley’s calendar is organised by Killabakh residents to raise funds for maintaining and enhancing their heritage-listed community buildings and facilities.
The Red Cedar Band will once again be a feature of the day.
The much-loved animal nursery and the kids’ activity corner will no doubt attract families with children while people of all ages will be drawn to the National Parks, FAUNA and Koalas in Care exhibits.
Cornelius the Clown is sure to be sought out by the young in particular.
This is a great place to meet and make friends and to start your Christmas shopping. There will be more than 70 exhibitors, many demonstrating their works.
Kelly Jackson’s handbags, clocks, fruit bowls and other items made from recycled vinyl records are sure to be a hit as will be blacksmith Graeme Askew, whip cracker Fiona Smith with her leather products, the Manning Valley Woodworkers Club and the Nabiac DONK Club’s display of operating static machinery.
A completely new Killabakh Cookbook is sure to be popular as will Killabakh resident Ted Prior’s Grug series of children’s books which have recently been republished.
Ken Roberts’ book marks, Vicky Davis’s beautiful leadlight lamps and Michael and Christine Clark’s remedial salt lamps would surely complement books as gifts.
Keen gardeners will be well-catered for with a great range of pots and plants including African violets, bromeliads, iris, daylilies, herbs, vegetables, Australian natives and seedlings.
Killabakh Landcare and the fellowship group will also be selling plants and produce and are happy to discuss problems and pass on handy hints.
The famous Killabakh lunches, desserts, Devonshire teas, frothy cappuccinos and barbecued steaks and sausages will be available for your enjoyment.
In addition to cakes, vegetables jams and preserves, special sauces, honey, macadamias, condiments and chocolates will tempt the taste buds.
