The Kaitangata woman was among 35 stallholders to exhibit wares at the National Bank-sponsored event at the Balclutha War Memorial Hall.
For Mrs Jury, the expo was a chance to show off her hand-made jewellery.
Although she had always being creative, her passion for jewellery had not surfaced until a life-changing moment.
The cafe owner suffered a blood clot in her leg, and routine medical tests revealed the worst.
In May last year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I went from being quite healthy and fit to having my world turn upside down . . . I thought I was going to die."
The hardest part was telling her husband and three sons.
"The thought of me not having a future with them was so hard to consider," Mrs Jury said.
Then began nine months of chemotherapy, followed by six weeks of intensive radiation.
She also underwent a mastectomy.
Doctors now say she is in remission but must take a special drug cocktail for five years.
To take her mind off the treatments, Mrs Jury began making jewellery.
Before long she had developed an impressive collection.
She sells it at her Balclutha cafe and various markets in the south, and makes it in a "time out" room at her home.
"I love it, it's such a nice distraction."
Stalls at the expo ranged from painted glass and crafts to health products and foot spas.
Proceeds went to the Otago Cancer Society.
