Hello

ARTS NEWSLETTER September 2012

Happy Spring Time!

Central Otago is amazing at the moment with the freshest blossoms and big blue skies. This rain we have had is welcome though - I am predicting a drought this summer and Lake Hawea did look very low on the front page of the newspaper the other day. There has not been enough snow this winter to fill the lakes with melt water.

September is a busy month with plenty to see and do. It's the time when some of us want to shake our bootie to a bit of live music, so hopefully you can see an opportunity to do that below.

The Warratahs are playing at The Shed, Northburn Station on Sunday 9th. They are always good fun and the ticket includes lunch.

The Alexandra Musical Society is presenting RUSH in keeping with the Central Otago Gold 150. This is a story of the perils besetting a pioneering family going to the Arrowtown goldfields in the 1860s.

The Alexandra Blossom Festival is nearly here with its colourful grand procession. Saturday in the Park promises to be good fun, offering up plenty of entertainment; music, clowning and magic along with a variety of yummy food and wine to keep everyone happy.

Regards

Maxine
