Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening depending on what time you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I’m on the drive home looking forward to the weekend activities with the Ebenezer Art and Craft Fair. It’s opening night is on Friday night at 7:00 and then on Saturday they’ve got some activities for the family and friends. That we will be between 10:00 and 3:00. On the Saturday we’ve got some auction things that will [00:00:30] be held as well, which is going to be great. I’m going to be auction off some brilliant prizes.

I’ll just go through the list with you if you’re interested. If you can’t be there on the day, don’t worry because you’ll be able to bid online, which I’ll explain a little bit later. I’ve got a GWS Giants tickets. There’s four of those for the Fremantle game on the 20th of August, fantastic. We’ve got a 10 week, um, unlimited classes for the Smartsteppers Talent Studios. Taronga Zoo, a family pass and you can also go to the Western Plains Zoo if you want [00:01:00] to use that at that particular zoo. Both the zoos I’ve been to and they’re brilliant. The VIP portrait package is hair, makeup and photos. So that will be a good one if you wanted to dress yourself up and look really pretty for a particular, um, portfolio. Whitewater rafter- rafting session, which I’ve had a look at that. I’ve been down to the whitewater rafting centre and it’s so much fun. So that’s a good one to get involved with.

Ghost tour, oh that’s a terrific thing too in Windsor Ghost Tours, the Hawkesbury Sightseeing, lots of fun. Janice and all [00:01:30] her team are just great. Then we’ve also go tennis racket and balls by the Inside- Inside the Lines at Richmond. They’re wonderful people that have donated that prize. A hundred dollar gift voucher from Kennard so if you got any of those things around the house that you’ve been thinking of doing and needing a trailer or need to go and hire a drill or something like that from Kennards they’d be more than happy to help you out then. We’ve also got an Ashton guitar. I don’t know whether that means it’s an Ashton guitar from 5 Seconds of Summer or whether it’s [00:02:00] an Ashton guitar. Cool Kids Music have donated that so that’s a great prize. A three-course dinner if you’re feeling a little bit hungry you can include a bottle of wine with that. And that’s donated by Juniors on the Hawkesbury, which is great. Overlooking the Hawkesbury River and a really nice, serene place to go and visit. So there’s a golf course there and there’s also a pool so as we’re heading into the warmer months it’s going to be lots of fun.

The list just goes on and one. The donations from local people has been, you know, wonderful and I know the Ebenezer [00:02:30] people are really welcoming of that. So continuing on the list we’ve got the Tobruk Sheep Station. Um, that’s a family pass there. We’ve got a one night in a courtyard room with Sebel Spa and Hawkesbury Valley, um, setup. So if you wanted to go and have a romantic dinner for two and then go and stay the night at Sebel that would be fun. You’ve also got a Onga submersible pump fr- donated by Hawkesbury Valley Irrigation, which would be handy being on the river or in and around [00:03:00] the river or even just if you’ve got some tanks on the property that you need a pump. Riverside Oaks has kindly donated a, um, two rounds of golf and lunch or dinner for two so that’s a great prize. We’ve also got a Scenic World family pass donated by Scenic World.

We’ve got dinner for two … like, we’re going to be really hungry by the time we finish this list. Dinner for two and the value $120 at Settler’s Arms Inn at St. Albans. So I don’t know whether you’ve ever been down to that pub, but that’s a great little pub [00:03:30] to go to and lots of fun for the day. Ronson toaster and kettle pack donated by The Good Guys. And as they say they are the good guys. We’ve got a six months … If you’re feeling … We’re eating all this food and then we need to go and get fit we can go the YMCA at the Hawkesbury Oasis. That’s a six month gym membership so that’s making us look pretty good there. Then you’ve got two adult passes to Featherdale Wildlife Park so that’s a fun day with the kids, too if you’re looking at something to do in the school holidays that are coming up.

Then you’ve got Sydney [00:04:00] Harbour Sightseeing Cruise. I’ve been on that one. And Captain Cook Cruises, they do a great job. So you get to see lots of things in the harbour, great day out and especially with the school holidays again. Easy Lane, really nice renovation that they’ve done at Windsor RSL. They’ve given a $75 food and beverage voucher so we really appreciate their support there. We’ve got a really special prize, too with a ride in a Super Class ski boat, which is from Ontrak Engineering. This boat actually goes … as I’m probably not saying the right [00:04:30] thing, but the boat, I’m going to call it a boat, um, it goes over a 100 miles per hour and, um, you do a hot lap from Windsor to Sackville and back so that would be rather exciting so, uh …

And we’ve got one final prize, which is, um, an auction item. That’s two tickets to the V8 Supercars. Now, I don’t know whether you like Supercars or not. I believe that they’re really fast and furious and lots of fun on the day. That’s on the 27th and 28th of [00:05:00] August and that’s at Eastern Creek. And not only do you get the two tickets, you actually get a private p- tour and not only that, we’re going to through in the steak knives as well, no not quite. We’re going to throw in an introduction to Tim Slade who’s one of the drivers of the Freightliner V8 Supercar. So we’re going to give you a pit tour of the V8- the Freightliner V8 Supercar garage, which is a really special thing and we really … big shout out to Matt Robinson. Really appreciate your help on that one to make that [00:05:30] prize happen.

So these are some of the auction items. If you can’t be there on Saturday to bid, the auction starts at 12:00, if you wanted to bid online beforehand just go to the website Ebenezer … the Ebenezer … I should know this shouldn’t I? I’ve been looking it up all day. Ebenezerartshow.com.au and there’s a bid online. So go onto that website, have a look at the prizes that they’ve go there. They’ve done a wonderful [00:06:00] job on getting everything together for you. There’s going to be lots of local artists, arts and crafts, stalls for the day, cake stalls, I got some great cakes last year. White elephant stall, there’s going to be a Pluck a Duck to win lots of prizes. Plants and preserves, guess the pig weight, local fire brigade, jumping castle, the list keeps going. Lucky dip, face painting, pet zoo, kids’ activities, sausage sizzshle- sizzle can’t even say it but they taste pretty good, nachos, [00:06:30] cakes and coffee, fairy floss, and slushies.

So for those who are looking for something to do on the weekend, Friday night’s the opening of the art show. Then Saturday’s the big day with the kids and family from 10:00 till 3:00. Looking forward to seeing everybody there as I’m sure everybody from Ebenezer Public School is. Have a great day and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
