Do you have a spare bra that’s past its use-by date? Then the Many Threads sewing group at Cherbourg would love to hear from you.
The women from Many Threads, who meet at the Ration Shed every Wednesday, are looking for an estimated 12,000 …. yes, 12,000 … bras to hang along the fenceline from Cherbourg to Murgon.
The “Bizarre Bra Event”, to be held in October, is designed to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Pink boxes will be appearing soon in Cherbourg and Murgon where bras can be dropped off.
In Kingaroy, bras can be left at the southburnett.com.au office at 6 Cornish Street, and we’ll make sure they make their way safely to Cherbourg.
Running in conjunction with the “Bra Fence” will be a decorated bra competition.
Many of the creations for this are already taking shape under the skilled hands of the sewing group.
Some are just a lot of fun, while others have a more serious side, dedicated to the memory of a friend or relative who has died from breast cancer.
All the decorated bras will be put on display at the Ration Shed during the “Bizarre Bra Event”.
Anyone can enter the decorated bra competition – just drop your creations off at the Ration Shed with the $2 entry fee per bra.
