The Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre is fighting back against COVID.
The centre is continuing to offer a wide range of home-made crafts to visitors and locals seven days a week in a COVID-safe environment.
Volunteers have the centre at the Sarina Field of Dreams parkland, adjacent to the Mackay Regional Information Centre, open seven days a week 9am to 1pm. The centre will close for public holidays.
“We are fortunate to have a strong group of volunteers who are sticking with us during this time,” centre manager Jennifer Costello said.
“COVID hasn’t stopped our crafters continuing to produce their works and we have a wide range of quality goods, all locally made.
“Like all businesses these days we require proof of vaccination from visitors but otherwise it is business as usual.”
