The 17th Pittsworth Craft & Fine Food Spectacular this Friday, October 7 and Saturday, October 8, promises to shine a light on the town and surrounding district.

Almost 50 stall holders will set up a colourful array of displays in the town hall for both days, with still more outside in Centenary Park.

The Spectacular was started as a fundraising initiative of the St Andrew’s Anglican Parish and most members of the inaugural committee are still involved including coordinator Brenda Prentice, Ros Scotney, Leonie Lee-Archer, Judy Krieg and Heather Hanlon.

As well as showcasing the work of local artisans and food producers, the event showcases local business and community organisations.

“It’s a very pleasant day out with lots of local artisans offering craft and food and lots of organisations having stalls including Crafty Quilters,” Brenda said.

“Pittsworth Confectionery on Mallard Road will have the factory open to the public and many other businesses will also be involved.

“It’s really an invitation for people to come to Pittsworth and see what we have here.”

People searching for a special gift might look to Barbary Lane Bears, Rhonda’s Rag Trade, Deez Creations, Just Add
Confetti or numerous other specialised stalls.

For visitors looking for something to eat they can choose from stalls such as Old Style Russian Fudge and Coconut Ice, Amy’s Sweet Treats, Jim’s Jerky or Lucille’s Kitchen.

For those who may like to sample some local wines, Riversands Vineyards or Springdell Fruit Wine, will be available.

Whether you’re looking for jewellery, women’s clothing, leather goods, homewares or soaps and skin care it will all be available at the Pittsworth Craft and Fine Foods Spectacular.
