A Day of Arts on the Green By Samantha Elley A cloudless blue sky greeted those who attended Woodburn’s Arts on the Green last Saturday. It was held at the
old bowling club in Richmond Street and thanks to funding from the Department of Community and Justice and the organisation of the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre (MRNC), locals were
able to enjoy a range of activities for free. Woodburn children were able to create their own art work which was then displayed and some were even sold, much to the delight of the budding young artists.
There was live music, circus acts, arts and crafts, blow up castles and plenty of food to be enjoyed. MRNC’s Jill Samuels said the day was the second in a series of three events the
government has funded for residents in the Mid-Richmond area. “The third and final event will be held in Coraki,” she said. “It is called Splash Fest and will include waterslides, markets and
live music, with food trucks and children’s entertainment.” Splash Fest is on at Windsor Park, 25 Bridge St, Coraki on Saturday 25 November, from 11am to 4pm.
