Each year club members, who work out of Port Stephens Community Arts Centre, combine their woodworking talents to build a wooden rocking horse.
The horse is then raffled off to help fund the group’s running costs.
Workshop manager Geoff McClelland said he was “ecstatic” when the raffle was drawn and a Nelson Bay woman walked away with the rocking horse.
This year’s top prize was won by Lacey McCourt’s nanna.
Black Beauty, as the horse came to be called, was transferred to its new stable in Sydney under the control of one happy young lady – Lacey.
Lacey’s grandmother bought a ticket in the hopes of winning her granddaughter an early birthday and Christmas gift.
The gamble paid off.
Leigh McCloud, Lacey’s mother, said her daughter is one very happy little girl.
