Things to look out for:
Children’s Quiz
The ever-popular children’s quiz will once again be available to the very youngest of our art lovers. Presented with a sheet of questions and a pencil, children must use their visual and detective skills to track down special animals or objects depicted in the artworks. A sweet prize will likely reward a task well done.
Anniversary Raffle
This special anniversary calls for additional raffle prizes.
Purchase of a $2.00 ticket will give you the unique opportunity to win one of 5 prizes which include 3 original artworks, one dozen bottles of “The Plough” wines and a beautiful decanter of Rotary Centenary Port.
Silent Auction
As you browse the show, you will also have the opportunity to bid in a silent auction for an original, garden statuary piece uniquely crafted by Heinz Martin.
