Isn't is good summer is here now and Christmas is truly in the air. It's often the best time to enjoy your family and friends in the sunshine
and taking time to live life.
There is still a couple of days left to visit the Arts Gold exhibition in Alexandra. If you get along to it, check out the online gallery and vote for your favourite artist. By voting you go into the draw to win 6 bottles of Central Otago wine which would be perfect for the festive season don't you think? We draw the winner this Thursday and announce the Viewers' Choice winner at 5pm. There have been well over 1000 votes so far but there are still good odds to take home the wine so click here to be in to win.
The Central Otago Arts Trail has a brand new brochure printed with 7 new artists coming on board in this latest edition. Try and make time over the holidays to visit some of the artist's listed, it can be an uplifting experience. The Arts Trail offers a fantastic opportunity to meet talented creative's in their own environment and buy art directly.
There's so much on over the next month or so, check out all that is on offer below. You could mooch around a local market with some yummy food or book a ticket to one of the fantastic summer festivals. Whatever you do have a great time doing it!
Cheers
Maxine
