SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE
A Sunday School teacher of pre schoolers told her students
that she wanted each of them to have learned one fact about
Jesus by the next Sunday. The following week she asked
each child in turn what they had learned.
Susie said, "He was born in a manger."
Bobby said, "He threw the money changers
out of the temple."
Little Johnny said, "He has a red pickup truck
but he doesn't know how to drive it."
Curious, the teacher asked,
"And where did you learn that, Johnny?"
"From my Daddy," said Johnny. "Yesterday we were
driving down the highway, and this red pickup truck pulled
out in front of us and Daddy yelled at him,
'Jesus Christ!
Why don't you learn how to drive?'"

MEDIA RELEASE
Unearthed and (f)route Breakfast at the Great Alpine Gallery, Swifts Creek
All kinds of treasures are being unearthed in the Tambo Valley as artists create art pieces
from “lost things found”, opening this coming Sunday morning, 23rd April at 9.30am.
The gallery will become a treasure trove of archeological discoveries from our own back
yard. Sometimes it takes an artist’s eye to see the potential in something discarded or
forgotten, and transform it into a thought-provoking artwork.
The exhibition opening will be held in conjunction with the famous (f)route breakfast, this
time at the Great Alpine Gallery. For the uninitiated, the (f)route breakfasts are a regular
feast of local fruity goodness, all locally sourced and made, with hot tea and coffee – just
how much lemon tart and poached quince can you eat for breakfast?
In keeping with the theme, breakfast will be served with some freshly unearthed fruitflavoured kombucha brewed by Judith Wong. Judith, a well-known teacher, adventurer and
unearther of many Alpine marvels, will be opening the exhibition, and will no doubt have an
interesting take on “Unearthed – lost things found”.
Bring something for the table for the (f)route breakfast or a donation, then head across the
road to the Albion Hotel for the Harvest Exchange to swap some local produce - what a fruity
feast!
For more information phone Tracey Johnson on 0418 221 078.
