Peterborough Art & Cultural Festival News
A massive THANK- YOU from Peterborough
Festival Inc. to all the volunteers and visitors who
participated in this year's Art and Cultural Festival.
The quilt display and collectables were very
favourable with the visitors. Next year more
participants would be encouraged to take part to
make them even more successful.
The cook book is still being developed and the
creators would like to receive more recipes prior
to its completion.
The markets were again a huge success drawing
good crowds on both Saturdays during the
Festival. The entertainment on these days were
non- stop and a big thank you is in order for all
the entertainers who took part. A special
acknowledgement to John Murphy who spent
many hours of entertaining during this period.
The Welcome to Country
and Smoking Ceremony
performed by Aboriginal
Elder Quentin was a huge
success. His two grandsons
performed the Aboriginal
dance routine during the
Smoking ceremony. The
Mayor Ruth Whittle
introduced and welcomed Quentin and his grand
sons to Peterborough prior to the welcoming
ceremony.
The wire works display proved to be a big success
with many people commenting on how unique the
display was.
A special thank you to Margaret Wade who made
the two raffle items which had proven to be an
outstanding success. The two winners were
Leonie Sims and Jenny Mesecki, both from
Peterborough. To the businesses in both
Peterborough and Jamestown for supporting the
raffle and promoting the Festival has been greatly
appreciated.
