Hello

What's On February 2014

Isn't it great that summer has returned at last and given us some lovely long sultry evenings.  This sky photo was taken after nine o'clock. It's even been hot enough for me to go swimming in Lake Dunstan which was divine, floating on my back and loving the views until some pesky jet skier came and ruined my tranquillity.

What an exciting week it has been with Lorde winning two Grammys - for Song of the Year, with co-writer and producer Joel Little, and for Best Pop Solo Performance for her amazing song Royals. This talented young kiwi from Devonport, just 17 years old, is now shining worldwide limelight on New Zealand and we should all be proud of her achievements. 

There’s a big month coming up, starting with the Rippon Music Festival this Saturday at Lake Wanaka and Bike Week starting in Bannockburn. There are festivals all around the region on each weekend in February.  This is the year of the DECOCADE!  Ranfurly’s Art Deco Festival this year will be bigger than ever before, with the spectacular Cavalcade rolling into town on the 22nd February.  Come and enjoy the fantastic parade, bands, an art exhibition, and eating and drinking al fresco on the nice wide streets of Ranfurly in the afternoon.  Then there will be a special Dinner and Hoe-down in the evening - it will be awesome!

So don't hold back, have a look at all the events listed below, gather some friends together and get out and enjoy this most pleasurable time of year.
