2009 Event Report and Photos
We were blessed with 3 ½ days of fine still weather in spite of waking to snow on the ground on the first day! Our numbers through the gate exceeded last year, and there was a relaxed happy atmosphere throughout the garden. Again it felt like a celebration of excellence, with the real talent of so many wonderful people who create something out of so little. Live music and the café all added to the ambience.
“Laura” the draught horse made of used horse shoes by Arthur Hawke won the Peoples Choice for Sculpture, and “Fade” Painted by Simon Edwards won the Painters section.
The children’s art classes with Corina Hazlett were again fully subscribed. Rosie Laszlo made a superb job of the sketching both children and adults delighting everyone with her likenesses.
The scarecrows made by the children of the Junior School at Hurunui College, and the young at heart from the community, added a great sense of fun and helped to raise funds for Cancer. Over all we were delighted to have raised $7500 for Cancer and St John Amuri.
