“The painting will be done on a huge canvas and will go to auction after the festival.”
Stalls will include a selection of vintage clothing, vinyl records, soaps and oils, and locally-made arts and craft.
The club is one of six successful community groups in the Shire’s latest round of community grants.
Shire President John Daw said the grant program contributed to building a vibrant and connected community.
Day in the Forrest will be held from 11am to 7pm at the Glen Forrest Sports Club in Marnie Road, Glen Forrest.
