Organisers expect 400 craft enthusiasts from around the state to flock to an annual Doll, Teddy and Craft Show when it returns to Geelong this month.
The year’s show would move to a new venue for the first time, relocating from Geelong West Town Hall to Belmont’s Masonic Centre, the organisers said.
The event would feature more than 40 stalls of dolls, teddies, handcrafted jewellery, cards and ceramics and other craft items, along with a “doll doctor” on site for repairs and valuations.
Quota International Geelong president Rosemary Stewart said she was thrilled to bring the show back for the 27th year.
“The stall holders, including both regular and new exhibitors, are all very excited about the new venue,” she said.
All proceeds from the day would support the Andrew Love Cancer Centre’s Wellness Lounge.
“We’re very pleased to be supporting the Andrew Love Cancer. They’re a fantastic charity who help so many people,” Ms Stewart said.
The centre provides support, care and community for cancer patients and their families in the Geelong region.
Quota International Geelong has raised more than $130,000 for local charities including Cottage by the Sea and Headspace since the show began, the organisers said.
Quota will host the show at the Regent St lodge from 10am to 5pm on 22 June.
