Friday 18 October: Our editorial team has researched some excellent things to do this week, including an oompah band at Oktoberfest in Sussex Inlet, and a new Mexican food truck with hand-made corn chips.
Local Artists on Show
The Shoalhaven Art Society’s 57th Annual Art exhibition opens at Shoalhaven Regional Gallery this Saturday. Judging by what our Arts & Culture writer, Natalie McDonagh, saw when she dropped off her entry earlier this week, it is going to be a bumper show well worth a visit. You may even find a piece to enrich your home. All art sales are a welcome contribution to supporting local artists.
Exhibit open 19 October – 16 November 2024
