Hi Marlene,
good idea working with the Craft show. Allows you bring a partner not interested in Bonsai.
Is the Craft Show in the garden area in front of the show building?

[Marlene]

Maple, there are lots of stalls all around the area, covering the whole grounds of the Town Centre Hall, lots of home made goodies, flowers and more.
It sure is entertaining for the whole family, not to mention that you could extend your visit to go up to Sky High and enjoy a bite to eat and admire the view across Melbourne.
Hope to see you and your family there
