The annual Wagin Woolorama showcases arts, crafts, photography and even giant pumpkins and this year, a group of lucky residents from Juniper Waratah Lodge were some of the first to see it all.
Hosted by the Wagin Agricultural Society (WAS) on March 7 and 8, the agricultural show promotes everything that the farming hub in WA’s Wheatbelt region has to offer as well as lots of entertainment and competitions.
A day before the big event kicked off earlier this month, residents from the aged care home in Wagin were guests at an exclusive afternoon tea in the Eric Farrow Pavilion to see all the entries and prize winners of this year’s competitions.
During the visit, residents received a warm welcome from WAS President Fiona Dawson and enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea of cake, sandwiches and homemade cookies.
Among the amazing pieces on display were a collection of vibrant artworks that captured Wagin’s iconic, and sizeable, Bart the Giant Ram tourist attraction, which stands a huge seven metres tall.
Juniper Waratah Lodge Residential Service Lead Pauline Alexander said the visit was quite a treat for residents who all enjoyed mingling with people from the community.
“It was a wonderful afternoon, with the residents taking in the many different art displays, photography entries, cooking creations and the lovely sewing, knitting and patchwork displays,” Pauline said.
“Thank you, to the Wagin Woolorama committee for inviting us – we all loved it.”
