Carnival of Cultures 07

Sunburn, Sparkles and Sausage Sizzles
Thousands of people turned out for the Ashfield Carnival of Cultures last Sunday (14 October). We had a small library stall (next to Mr Whippy - yummy) and we displayed our wares. Story telling, homework help, craft, all knowingness and books of course.

The Library sold 2 truck loads of old books at our book sale for 50c each (its not for profit, believe me). We had people looking for all sorts of treasures! We managed to sort and shuffle box's of books around our little tent searching for the pony books or NSYNC Cd's and even old encyclopedia sets in Chinese.

Staff helped aspiring young artist design 600 bookmarks and 400 door hangers at the craft table. The glorious sun shone, the cool breeze carried the smell of the scouts sausage sizzle to our nostrils and there was not a blow fly or bull ant to be seen, a wonderful day, I can't wait till next years carnival.
