Special 100th event for Kilcoy QCWA
The ladies of the Kilcoy Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) are celebrating their 100th birthday on August 31 and are inviting current and past members from all QCWAs across Moreton Bay and Somerset to attend.
The event will take place from 7am to 12pm at 33 Rose Street, Kilcoy, with the celebration promising a day of fun with market stalls, fire trucks, tea and scones, and a 10 prize raffle.
The first prize of the raffle will be a queens sized patchwork quilt valued at $600, with other raffle prizes including a $50 IGA voucher, crocheted rugs, sunglasses, and a crystal bowl.
Tickets are $1 each.
There will also be memorabilia on display, including photos from the past 100 years, the first minute book from 1924, and recipe books.
Little ones are also guaranteed to have lots of fun, with a colouring competition put on with the schools.
The Kilcoy RSL will also provide a barbeque, along with a 100th birthday cake for the sweet toothed attendees.
State Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington, is also expected to attend, along with Somerset Council members.
Kilcoy QCWA president, Caryl Cook, said everyone is really looking forward to the event, because “it’s going to be a great day”.
“When you look at the photos, it’s a bit sad to think that so many members have passed,” she said.
“We can remember all of them with the celebration and there is nothing like new blood to keep things going.”
The Kilcoy QCWA currently has around 18 members and meets on Thursdays, usually around 9:30am, with more info available on the Facebook page Q C W A Kilcoy Branch.
