WHAT'S ON IN JUNE
The Taree Craft Centre The two exhibitions we have had during the Manning Winter Festival in June have been very popular so they are being continued until the end of June. The “Talk to
the Animals” display at Taree North shop (next
to tourist information centre) featuring animals knitted, crocheted, sewn
and using up cycled materials is well worth a visit.
The other exhibition is called “Having fun with Succulents” at the Craft Cottage 77 Pulteney Street Taree. We have numerous succulent plants potted up in all sorts of fun containers with proceeds of the sales of these plants going to the local PCYC.
Come along and enjoy
the shows. Both shops will have lots of
craft on sale and the Cottage has a Café just waiting to provide you with
coffees, cakes, and lunches.
