Mini winter writing & story festival – thank you

A big thank you to all who were involved in our very first mini festival of writing and storytelling. Thanks to our wonderfully talented workshop presenters – Linda, Helen, Ben & Renata, and the wonderful session run by Eileen and Hamish with ‘Story Soup’. Thanks to our fabulous supporters and volunteers on the day and everyone who shared the information to let people know about our festival. There was loads of laughter and fun, creativity with costumes, dragon wings and inspiration for stories and writing. Thanks to all who came and we hope everyone who participated went away inspired and excited about writing and stories.
Thank you to the Upper Hutt Creative Communities who supported our vision.
