Sorrow to celebration

WHEN her father passed away of cancer in 2009 Etelka Krastek needed to find something to keep her mind off things.
“I was having a bit of trouble coping,” Ms Krastek said. “I’d already started painting the house and needed something else to do.”
So Ms Krastek decided to hold a day to celebrate Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea in honour of her father.
“I guess it’s my way of remembering him in a positive way,” she said. “We had no time to prepare – it [her father’s death] was over so soon.”
So this year, for the second time Ms Krastek will hold a day in his honour.
The morning tea will be held at Bayles Hall between 9am and 3pm Sunday 30 May. It will include jumping castles, stalls, tea, coffee and cakes as well as face painting and sausage sizzles for the kids.
