You’re
invited to celebrate with us, through visual arts, performing arts,
cultural
development activities or just by attending.
We
have a full program highlighted, with a weekend designed for the local
community. We’ll be
holding
a market stall weekend. We’re now calling for community groups
interested in sponsoring
this
event or holding a Stall to lodge an expression of interest. We also
have established a range
of
sponsorship opportunities across the two days. The event has been
designed, in the first
instance,
to give our local Hinchinbrook businesses the opportunity to claim
ownership of the
project
and capitalise on the thousands of visitors we’re expecting.
Special
guests for the project have been organized and the WIN TV network is
throwing its support
behind
the project.

you are interested in being part of this Expo or for more information
