Santa comes early at Arno

Hundreds of people headed to Arno Bay on Saturday to wander around the annual Arno Bay Christmas Craft Fair.

There were stalls held in and near the green shed which offered lots of goodies to eat, plus a multitude of gift-giving items.

Santa also visited young children on the day.

Yvonne Britza won the best stall prize for her array of patchwork items.

A raffle was held to donate to the proceeds of the day, which will go to a yet to be decided Arno Bay cause.

Raffle prize winners were as follows: Les Edwards, Jock Duncan, Asha Priess, Prue Stringer, Yvonne Britza, Helen Canute, Joel Schutz, Rachel Patton and Kate McGuire.
