“Craft Extravaganza” is an amazing Craft Fair featuring handmade crafts of exceptional quality made by 50 local and South East Queensland craft persons with a huge variety of work on display and all available for purchase at reasonable prices. The Fair has been running twice a year for 10 years and has a reputation of showcasing some of the best handmade craft in the area.
“Craft Extravaganza” raises funds for the Tamborine Mountain Rural Fire Brigade. In 2010 the Fire Brigade replaced two old second hand fire trucks with two brand new state of the art appliances, added a twin-cab 4WD utility to the fleet and improved the training facilities no end.
As a result they do not have an immediate requirement for major funds so have generously suggested that the time was opportune to invite other deserving local community organizations to participate in the Craft Extravaganza and share in the proceeds.
With this in mind we are pleased to advise that JC EPIDEMIC, a mountain youth organisation has been operating the “Crafty Café” for the Mothers Day Show.
JC EPIDEMIC is a not for profit Christian Youth organisation who stage extreme sports events in order to capture the attention of Australia’s young people and bring motivational and encouraging words into their lives. Through drug and alcohol free events JC EPIDEMIC draws in crowds of young people who can experience something exciting and potentially life changing. They promote that Australia’s youth need not hit rock bottom before coming to the realization that there is an alternative way of living.
The shows are held at the Vonda Youngman Community Centre, Main St. North Tamborine, open from 10am to 4pm. They are four day events, with the first day being the most popular with our regular visitors who snap up the best bargains.
The Craft Extravaganza is held twice per year and the dates for 2013 ares:
Craft Extravaganza Mother’s Day Fair – 9th May to 12th May 2013
Craft Extravaganza Christmas Fair – 10th to 13th October 2013
Admission is free although a gold coin donation to TMRF is appreciated.
