Kaiapoi festival
Kaiapoi is the place for an autumn festival of arts, crafts, music and dancing. The North Canterbury Community Arts Council is organising the festival at the Morgan Williams Reserve on March 29.
The aim, says the secretary, Mrs Elaine Armstrong, is to cover traditional and contemporary examples of all cultures. The reserve covers 20 acres and is open to the riverbanks so no admission charge will be made. Instead the council will levy a 10 per cent commission on all sales to meet costs.
The intention is to promote the arts within North Canterbury and to
raise funds for the Kaiapoi Performing Arts Course Band for instruments. The council is approaching craftspeople to invite them to take part. Mrs Armstrong says the council wants as wide an area of North Canterbury as possible represented. The council’s area stretches from the Waimakariri River to the Conway River (excluding Amuri County.)
Information about the festival is available from libraries and council offices. Those interested in taking part should contact Mrs Armstrong pt the Kaiapoi Borough Council, P.O. Box 102, Kaiapoi.
