the creative extravaganza

The past few weeks have been so jam-packed with events that I have fallen behind in updating this in only a matter of days.

Friday May 18 was the Creative Extravaganza, held at the Hideaway Cafe in the Wollongong mall, The turn-out was pretty big, and tonnes of people read, sang, or performed their original works, to the delight of the crowd who really got into it all.
The judges were Paloma, Laura and Freya, with Samira announcing the acts. Prizes were CDs, books and bottles of wine, all donated by local businesses, which were won by (in order):
Claire Garett, who got first place with a performance of a song
Luke Johnston, who got second place for his poetry
and Dane Naoum, who won third with his performance poetry that involved the audience.

Special mentions went to Daniel East, Adam Norris and Maddie Phelan, and my very own special mention goes to the chicken and sun-dried tomato risotto, which was delicious but too huge to finish.
