Hello

What's On September 2013

It's Springtime!

We all know it has arrived early and I’m wondering whether there will be any blossom left for the Alexandra Blossom Festival this year. It looks set to be another great event with all the awesome entertainment in store, so let’s hope this amazing Central weather continues to shine bright. Local school kids have been busy at workshops making fantastic masks to wear at the Friday night Mardigras in Tarbert Street. Float builders are frantically sticking flowers to their amazing floral, rolling creations. Blossom princesses are busy preening themselves so as to be extra beautiful on their floats for Saturday’s grand procession. Petrol-heads from all over are excited and preparing their cars for the Thunder Sunday Drag Racing at the Alexandra Airport.

It's a shaping up to be an art-filled week in Central and I’m looking forward to the Hullabaloo Group Show at Central Stories (see header) which opens to the public on Friday. And on Friday night the first ever Pecha Kucha event for the Teviot Valley will be held at the Millers Flat Hall. There are 8 interesting people lined up to entertain guests. It's always good to hear about the talents and experiences of people in your own community and Pecha Kucha is a great learning and sharing occasion. Next Saturday sees The Lazarus String Quartet playing at the Cromwell Memorial Hall. They are proudly presented by Cromwell Community Arts in association with Chamber Music NZ.

Artists note: time is counting down to the 20th of September when entries close for the Arts Gold Awards. The odds of being selected as a finalist are pretty good and if you are successful, then you have a great chance of winning a major prize. You have to be in it to win it, so don’t be shy and have a go!

Check out all that is listed below and plan some fun.
