On with the show Last month the HT ran a feature on designer and milliner Cassandra Pennisi, whose designs (one pictured) were to feature in an upcoming fashion parade. The proceeds from this were for the awardwinning Palmwoods Little Village Theatre, who have been in rehearsals for their show, An Evening with Irving.
Upcycle competition The recent Kenilworth Show was cancelled due to the pandemic, and the Kenilworth Museum was to sponsor one of the classes in the textile arts section with the title “everything old is new again” - create something new from old clothing; judged on innovation, technique and presentation. To this end the museum is now promoting this competition with a slightly different twist in association with the Cent Sale that the museum and the Kenilworth Quilt and Craft Group are staging on October 29 in the Kenilworth Hall.
Little Village Theatre, who recently won the Fisher Award for Best Seniors Community Group, have decided to move their show to early 2022, since Covid is continually disrupting everything. The ‘Spring Fashion Show’ fundraiser has also moved, and will now be held on September 26, 2pm, at the Millwell Road Community Centre, Maroochydore. Cassandra’s collection will be debuted there, and guests can also enjoy a Devonshire tea, music and raffle prizes. To book, visit: trybooking,com/BSYDT or contact Ronda Vijsma on 0411 115786.
