With the Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival less than two weeks away, this week the Huon News heads along to Young Dawkins' storytelling workshop for potential young entrants in the Growing Stories - Kids Storytelling Slam, we also check out how the inaugural sculpture competition is shaping up.

In Huon Valley Council news, we take a look at the proposed sale of the Cygnet Medical Centre, which was approved in a six to two vote at the last council meeting.

We chat to Dr Hamede from the University of Tasmania about the second facial tumour disease that has been found to attack Tasmania's iconic Tasmanian devil and Zainab Clark gives us her take on SETAC's Cultural Day at Nichols Rivulet.

In sport, don't miss our coverage of the Huon Rowing Club awards dinner and the wrap up of all the football and soccer action in the Valley last weekend.

For all this and more, as we head into the second half of the year in the Valley, don't miss this week's Huon News, in shops from this afternoon and by subscription online.
