Organised in conjunction with next month’s Scarecrow Festival, the fundraising ball will a spit roast, raffles and prizes for those dressed in their glad rags or in scarecrow theme.
Festival coordinator Bedelia Wilson said people need to get in quick to secure their tickets for a fun community night out.
“It will be lots of fun and people will be doing their bit to ensure the festival continues,” she said.
Tickets are $45 and available from the club.
This year’s Scarecrow Festival will be held on Saturday June 6, with prizes for vintage-themed scarecrows made by residents, shop keepers, schools and community groups.
Registration forms can be picked up and dropped off at the Milton Newsagency, Akwa Surf Shop and Ulladulla Drycleaners.
As well as the scarecrow judging, keen bakers can take home prizes in the first-ever pie making competition.
Bedelia said cooks can register their interest via the Scarecrow Festival’s Facebook page or phone 0498 012 717.
“People can enter a sweet or savoury family pie of their choice,” she said.
“The pies need to be delivered to the Milton CWA Hall by 9am on festival day for judging by the CWA ladies.”
With only a few weeks until the festival, Bedelia is encouraging people to get cracking on their scarecrow and to put them on show for passers-by the admire.
