Museum rekindles picnics past

Residents young and old are invited to tidy up their teddy bears and bring them along to a special picnic day at the Warkworth Museum on Sunday, October 20.

Museum volunteers are organising a day packed full of family-orientated activities, ranging from a treasure hunt and teddy bear wash to a lolly scramble, novelty races and sausage sizzle.

There will be prizes for the smallest and oldest teddy bears, the scruffiest bear and the best dressed bear.

There will also be an opportunity for children to paint a fence paling, which are on permanent display at the museum. The day will run from 10am to 2pm, with a grand parade at 11.30am.

Visitors are invited to bring along their own picnic lunch.
