    This Volunteers Week we would like to thank each and every person that puts in time to make Willy Lit Fest possible. Volunteers are the face of Willy Lit Fest and the festival would not run without your enthusiasm and passion for community and the arts. ⁠ ⁠ We would also like to take this moment to celebrate a treasured volunteer that is no longer with us, Kay Hirst. Kay was wise, positive, down to earth, and great to be around each festival weekend. Our thoughts go out to her family.⁠ ⁠ #volunteersweek

    Hobsons's Bay Heritage Week starts next week and there will be tours, events, open houses and all sorts throughout the course of the week @hobsonsbaycc Our Ada Cambridge Prize suite is named after one of Australia's finest colonial writers who lived in the centre of Williamstown, and whose house you can still visit today. This is the commemorative plaque outside Willy Library, celebrating Ada Cambridge. It's a little hard to read on a phone but you can visit this site in situ as part of your Heritage Week tour. There's still time to send us your entries for the Ada Cambridge Biographical Prose Prize, the Poetry Prize and the Young Adas. Entries close April 16 and we can't wait to read your work. #adacambridge #writingprize #hobsonsbay

    Thank you to everyone that came down to the Pirates Tavern last week for trivia. Willy Lit Fest trivia is something of a tradition, and it's so great to be back after two years! Thank you to quizmaster Michael Lee who kept the night moving, to Jane Finemore for the little teaser of June's festival program, to the committee for writing the questions and to YOU for attending and making it such a wonderful night. Your support of Willy Lit Fest is much appreciated. #willylitfest #dayslikethese #wlf22 #hobsonsbay
