"It was chaos, but anyway, CWA members are very resilient and we're very resourceful and we're able to cope with all sorts of things," she said.
"We got it all out and packed up and everybody got their belongings and went off home happy, but disappointed that the exhibition was shut down."
Ms Grant said the money raised from selling food and refreshments would go towards use within the community.
