Residents and consumers at East Grampians Health Service’s 70 Lowe Street, Garden View Court and Patricia Hinchey Centre took part in the Ararat Show last month, winning many ribbons and awards.

Several items were entered in the floral and herb section and arts and crafts sections by the residents and consumers.

At 70 Lowe Street, Val Kenyon won an honourable mention for her painting ‘Snowy Peaks’.

Norma Edwards won second place for her painting ‘Under the Sea’ but sadly passed away before the show, however, her family were happy for Lowe Street staff to enter her painting, which she had been excited about.

Patricia Hinchey Centre clients won first place for their pansies and second for their herbs, while at Garden View Court Marion Claringbold won first place for her quilt, and Alice Yanner, Marion and Pam Williams won awards for their art and paintings.

EGHS and Ararat Show Society volunteer David Clayton presented specially-crafted participation awards to each facility, on behalf of the show society, which residents and consumers were thrilled to receive.

“It was great to see so many entries from our residents and consumers and they were excited to receive ribbons and awards for their efforts,” he said.
