How you can be part of the fun of Sarau Festival 2011!
Holiday season may well be fast-approaching but there is a lot going on behind the scenes for the best Sarau Festival ever in January 2011! If you are keen to be involved and make the most of this fantastic day as a spectator, volunteer or other, read on! So, what can you do?
Start creating your entries for the competitions:
The Blackcurrant Cooking Competitions – jams, jellys, preserves, the children’s section, baking, and innovative recipes.
Kids – write a poem or a short story about Blackcurrants or Life in your area
Adults – write a limerick about Blackcurrants or Life in the Moutere
Again, we will have the fantastic Moutere Mountain Bike event – this time at the more “sun conscious” time of 5pm – get a group together and take part in this late afternoon ride beginning and ending at the festival – through the stunning fields and crops of the Moutere.
There will be heaps of entertainment, activities, growing and cooking demonstrations.
This is our chance to showcase the Moutere and Mapua areas with all our businesses and activities, and just to have a great time… get involved, or just come along – it’s lots of fun!
Specific help needed:
Could you help out with advertising the event – get articles into local and national papers, contact radio stations, movie theatres, etc
Would you be willing to help out with traffic management from 3 – 6pm?
Would you be willing to be a marshal for the bike race?
Do you have nice handwriting? If so, are you willing to write out our programme on the 5 white boards?
Do you have 200 bales of hay we could borrow for the day?
Could you help us with setting up or breaking down marquees, laying out the field?
Could you help with baking for the volunteer team the day before and the day after?
This year the book stall will focus on children’s books, cooking and gardening books ….but really – we will take anything and try to sell it! Start putting them in bags now ready to bring along…
