Kathleen McCue’s Exhibition of paintings and sculpture is proving a big drawcard at Burrangong Gallery at the Visitor Information Centre with many positive comments and sales for this Grenfell guest artist. There’s still a couple of weeks remaining to call up and view her work before the next exhibition of “Etchings and Prints” is installed on October 15.
The Burrangong Picnic Race Club is holding the club’s annual race meeting at Toompang Race Course, Young on Saturday October 8. Gates will open at 12 noon and the six race program will feature the Burrangong Picnic Race Club Cup. Harden is also holding a picnic race meeting on October 22.
This month National Cherry Queen entrants will be busy organising more fund raising events. Hayley Dwyer has a movie night on October 13 with a screening of “Bridget Jones’s Baby” and Jacqui Everdell has a mammoth “Walk for Tim” event at Wombat Showground on October 22.
With the postponement of the “Cherry Chase” fun run until 2017 the staging of Young’s first ever Colour Run in November 26 at Toompang Race Course is attracting keen interest. The Colour Run is being organised by Cherry Queen entrant Jemma Long, who also has a barefoot bowls function in November.
