December 14’s Preview of the 2017 Festival of Glass Treasure Hunt featured a collection of hand-made glass ‘Tiny Treasures’.
The ‘Tiny Treasures’ are small items that participating
businesses will place (somewhere!) on their premises when the Treasure Hunt
starts on 2 January; and Treasure Hunters have to spot ten Tiny Treasures to go
into the draw on 19 February for prizes of glass art.
Without giving too much away, the ‘Tiny Treasures’ include a
steak for Parkers Steakhouse, a glass of beer for the Drysdale Hotel, a bunch
of grapes for Leura Park Estate and a picnic basket for – you guessed – Picnic
Time Cafe.
Each business in the Treasure Hunt was asked what it would
like for its ‘Tiny Treasure’ and (where practicable!), these were created by
local glass artists.
As well as its ‘Tiny Treasure’, each business in the
Treasure Hunt will also display – more prominently – a piece of glass art that
it has commissioned from a local glass artist; and these pieces than become
prizes in the Treasure Hunt draw at the Festival Expo at Christian College on
19 February.

sponsor – Bellarine Veterinary Practice
The Bellarine
Veterinary Practice is
a welcome sponsor/participant in the Festival’s 2017 Treasure Hunt. The
Practice consists of six clinics in Barwon Heads, Drysdale, Grovedale, Newcomb,
Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale that, between them, employ more than 70 staff,
including veterinarians, nurses and hospital attendants. Three of the clinics
are fully equipped veterinarian hospitals and the Practice as a whole offers
comprehensive veterinary services, including vaccination, imaging, surgery, dentistry, and microchipping,
as well as a range of animal health
and wellness programs.
Bellarine Veterinary Practice regards itself as not just a vet
clinic but as part of its community and it supports a laudable number of
community organisations and events related to animals, education and well
being. The Festival of
Glass committee is delighted to welcome Bellarine Veterinary Practice to the 2017 Treasure Hunt
and we hope that the Practice benefits from its participation.
