STEELS Creek’s Annual Flower Show has blossomed into a whole of community event with something for all ages and interests.
The Steels Creek Community Centre was buzzing on Saturday 9 November during the 9th Annual Flower Show combined with the inaugural Steels Creek Fete.
The traditional drawcard of hundreds of plants grown by local garden club members was as strong as ever, along with the rose display, crafts by the Steels Creek Stitchers and artwork by local school students, and then there was the fete.
Market stalls and children’s activities including face-painting, felting and pony rides added to the fun.
Steels Creek Community Centre vice president and fete organiser Vicki Stewart said the fete not only helped raise funds for the centre, but aimed to broaden the appeal to include new families who had moved into community.
