We love telling you all about the spring activities in Central Otago and October is so busy you are going to be spoiled for choice.
This weekend Bannockburn has a fantastic two days planned – there will be exhibitions, wine tasting, entertainment and markets - and for a real treat, Brian Turner will be reading his poetry. Check out the listing below called ‘Over the Bridge in Bannockburn’. ‘Clyde on Sunday’ starts up again this weekend with funky music playing, markets and fun for the kids.
I’m told tickets to the ‘WoolOn Creative Fashion Event’ on 12th and 13th October are selling fast so hurry and book if you want a great evening of glitz and glamour.
Check out ‘Artzfest’ in Ettrick on Sunday 21st October listed below. It promises to be a great day with a variety of interesting workshops on offer for anyone keen to have a go at something new, at a very small cost. All the information is listed below.
The Arts Trail brochure is coming along nicely. We are very excited about the prospect of our Arts Trail artists at last having a long overdue presence in I- sites, local visitor destinations and also online through the Central Otago Arts website. We hope to have it all ready to go soon so we’ll keep you posted.
Enjoy life!
Maxine
