THERE IS NO  ADMISSION FEE TO VISIT OUR SHOW. WE FIGURE THAT WE WOULD LIKE OUR VISITORS TO HAVE MORE MONEY TO PUCHASE THE BEAUTIFUL HAND MADE CRAFT THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.

HOWEVER A GOLD COIN DONATION WHICH GOES DIRECTLY TO THE TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN RURAL FIRE BRIGADE IS APPRECIATED.

THE MAY CRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA IS HELD OVER 4 DAYS 10AM TO 4PM EACH DAY COMMENCING ON FRIDAY 30TH APRIL 2010 AND RUNNING TO THE PUBLIC HOLLIDAY (QUEENSLAND LABOUR DAY) 3RD MAY 2010.

THE MONDAY HAS PROVED TO BE VERY POPULAR WITH MANY OF THE DAY VISITORS WHO COME TO GALLERY WALK  SEE OUR ADVERTISING AND  COME UP AND HAVE A LOOK.

WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT A WEEK TO GO TO OUR CLOSING DATE FOR EXHIBITORS FOR THE CRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA MOTHERS DAY SHOW.WE LIKE TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF EXHIBITORS TO BETWEEN 45 TO 50 AND TO HAVE A NUMBER OF NEW EXHIBITORS FOR EACH SHOW.THIS WAY WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE HALL FOR OUR VISITORS TO WANDER AROUND AND ENJOY THE DISPLAYS WITHOUT HAVING TO FORM A RUGBY SCRUM TO GET CLOSE AND ALSO PROVIDES INTEREST WITH THE NEW EXHIBITORS. WE LIMIT THE NUMBER OF EXHIBITORS WITH ANY PARTICULAR CATEGORY TO NO MORE THAN 3 EVEN THOUGH EACH CRAFTERS WORK MAY BE DIFFERENT .THIS AGAIN ALLOWS EVERYONE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO WELL.

SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT PLEASE EMAIL ME .MUST BE HAND MADE BY YOURSELF. WE MAY NOT GET YOU IN FOR MAY BUT WE STILL HAVE THE CHRISTMAS CRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA AS WELL AS CHRISTMAS IN CLEVELAND.

WHEN I COMMENCED THE CRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA MY AIM WAS TO PROVIDE A FIRST CLASS CRAFT SHOW FOR TALENTED CRAFT PERSONS TO EXHIBIT AND SELL THEIR CRAFTS. AT THE SAME TIME I SAW A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP WORTHY CAUSES AS WELL. IN 2009 WE RAISED $23000 FOR TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN RURAL FIRE BRIGADE $1000 FOR BREAST CANCER AND $2000 FOR THE TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN DEFENSIVE DRIVING INITAITIVE.

THIS YEAR  OUR OTHER CHARITY WILL BE TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN PROGRESS ASSOCIATION

OUR CRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA MOTHERS DAY WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY 30TH APRIL THROUGH TO MONDAY 3RD MAY BEING ANOTHER 4 DAY SHOW. MONDAY THE 3RD MAY IS THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND IN QLD FOR LABOUR DAY WHICH ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN. AGAIN WE WILL HAVE NEW EXHIBITORS AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR FAVOURITES WHO ARE ALWAYS IN DEMAND. WE ARE GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER BIG INCREASE IN VISITORS.LAST Y
