Rakaia based Anita Ruigrok, is in the process of putting together a fantastic Halloween experience for the local and surrounding area, all in conjunction with the Rakaia Scouts. On October 30th, the paddock behind the Scouts building will come alive as 'A Disney Graveyard’, offering something for all ages. This is a fundraising event to help Rakaia Scouts continue operating (entry is a gold coin donation). “Children in Rakaia don’t have a lot of afterschool activities they can participate in locally, so the Club is a truly valuable asset to the community,” commented Anita. “Last year a friend of mine, who lives just outside the Rakaia township, wanted to celebrate Halloween at her place, so we organised a little scary walk in her garden. Fifty to seventy people turned up and they are still talking about how great it was.
ISSUE 1,008 Friday 8th October 2021
Anita Ruigrok with some of her amazing Disney character creations. “So, I approached the Rakaia Scouts, taking along mock-up drawings of what I'm capable of and what I wanted to build, and they responded amazingly. “I wanted to organise a Halloween event that children will talk about for a long time and hopefully remember for years. “I love to create, draw, paint and build things, as well as organising events, so this project ticks lots of boxes for me. Halloween only exists in a few houses in Rakaia, with not many homes decorated. “I have planned an all-ages
event that will take place before dinner, this will be more focused on games and candy, which has been kindly donated. There will be multiple games that attendees can participate in, if they would like more candy. For the enthusiastic Halloween supporters, there will be a dressup competition, photo booth, a barbeque, glow sticks for sale and more games. Three lucky winners will receive an extra bag of lollies and a $50 shopping voucher from the Rakaia Foursquare. “After 7pm the event will
transform into an experience, with the help of volunteers in costume and their faces painted, that will make the graveyard come alive! “I have been using large boxes to transform them into a Disney themed tombstone or character. The children have to guess which Disney movie is represented during the event. “I look forward to seeing you all on October 30th, for a fun-filled night,” Anita concluded.
