As in past years the Club expects many exhibitors and traders to present an amazing and wide range of Collectables and Antiques. There will also be displays of antique vehicles and orchids to add colour to the day.
Because 2014 is the 100 year anniversary of the start of World War 1, there will be a memorabilia collection and historical information from WW1.
In addition a local model maker will display a very detailed collection of Army tanks in battle scenes.
There are over 100 classes of items that may be on display including tin toys, antique telephones, bottles, Depression glassware, fine china, old tool, silverware and coins.
One unique collection will be of Vegemite jars-not many people realise just how many shapes of Vegemite bottles and glasses were produced.
As a special feature this year, Lions members, at set times during the Fair, will use original separators and churns to make butter, something that will bring back memories to the more senior visitors and will be a new experience to many young visitors.
There is plenty pf parking, level walkways to displays and nearby toilets. Wauchope Lions will provide a sausage sizzle at a small fee and tea/coffee and light refreshments are available in the main hall.
Come along and enjoy the beautiful and intriguing items that will be displayed for your pleasure and maybe pick up a bargain from the many traders.
Many people comment on seeing displays that they had many of the items in their lifetime and some are sorry that they threw out something that was in everyday use but has now become collectable items.
Gates open 9am to 4pm on Saturday and 9am to 1pm on Sunday. Entry is only $5. For further details contact: Jim on 6586 4744 or Greg on 6585 1393. All money raised will be donated by Lions to local projects, national medical research and major disaster relief.
