Remember the stories we heard of the pregnancy that was mistaken for appendicitis, and the nana in her nightie flying past with a bikie...
Feeling grateful to WOW Australia - WOW Women of the World Festival, who in partnership with the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation, enabled us to run theatre workshops and encourage local women to share their stories at the Channel Country Ladies Day. Thanks to Di Wills from Creative Regions Ltd for your creativity and direction.
WOW also supported the 'entrepreneurial women' focus we had throughout the weekend. More on that during the week!

Vote of thanks goes to Flying Arts and the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund for their generous support of the arts activities last weekend.
Thanks to Flying Arts we were able to bring out Bronwen Jones for clay beading, Jenuarrie to lead lino printing workshops, Cheryl McGannon Art and her taster playshops with wax & mixed media, and not to forget Bev Killick who had us all in stitches...and more! These artists filled up our Red Ridge Interior Queensland Ltd Artsbreak Area and provided many wonderful experiences for women over the weekend.
