Check out the events listing below for further details.

Have you bought your Christmas Raffle tickets yet?

Have you thought about how to pay for the Christmas groceries?

Are you starting to organise what you will be doing or eating?

Friends of the Grenfell Library (FOGL) have kicked off their Christmas raffle.

Tickets can be purchased from the library and are priced at $2 each or 3 for $5.

Prizes include a $200 IGA voucher, a $200 voucher for Grenfell Butcher and $100 to be spent at any other Weddin Shire business.

You must be in it to win.

The sequel to The dressmaker by Rosalie Ham is coming.

Why not read the original before the sequel is released?

So, jump online and join BorrowBox.

It is free for everyone.
