Betty Jenkins

How long have you lived in Canowindra? All my life – I was born here.

What do you love most about Canowindra? It’s my home town; it’s where everyone one I know is.

Do you have any hobbies or passions? I look after native animals, I do craftwork, I play bowls, I love gardening and travelling, I belong to CWA, and I’m also on the Board of Directors at the Bowling Club.

Where is your favourite place in the world? I would still have to say Canowindra is my favourite place. One of the nicest places I’ve ever been is Bangalore in India.

Who or what inspires you the most? My mother inspired me growing up – she was such a battler.

What is your favourite music to listen to? Elvis, Rod Stewart, and I also like peaceful music – I am a lover of music!

If you won the lotto how would you spend it? I would finish doing up our federation house and help out my three daughters.

What is the biggest change you would like to see in the world? Peace and harmony. What else can you hope for?
