CARNIVAL ENDS
“Come to Blenheim” Week
Press Association. —Copyright. Blenheim, Sept. 10
Favoured throughout by gorgeous weather, the “Come to Blenheim” week which concluded on Saturday proved an outstanding success. The town has been crowded with visitors and the entertainment provided for their amusement seemed to be appreciated. A gala air was maintained throughout the events, which consisted of a really thrilling series of spectacular processions, children’s games in the main streets, a basketball tournament in front of the post office, a series of band concerts, Maori entertainments in the market place, exhibitions of Scottish and other dancing, community singing en masse and so on. Boxing, football, hockey and other similar attractions and festivities was rounded off on Saturday night with an open-air ball in the market place, a huge crowd keeping the fun going till midnight. To-day a big party of townspeople accompanied the North Island visitors to Picton and accorded them an enthusiastic send-off in the ferry steamer.
