kitchen chaos

library back up and running Now that we have reach level 1 the Arrowtown Library is back up and running, including childrens programmes like Storytime.

Come into Arrowtown Library every Wednesday 10.30 am during term time for fun storytelling for parents and pre-school children.

(Note: sessions are held during term time only)

Here is some fun entertainment for the kids, ideal for 3 – 10yrs olds and their grown ups...Arts on Tour has brought to you Kitchen Chaos, Wednesday 22 July 4 pm.

Welcome to another fabulously funny fiasco from the team that brought you The Messy Magic Adventure. When magic is accidentally let loose in the kitchen, everything is turned topsy-turvy. Now, the audience must help sensible Spray and naughty Wipe bake a very special cake before it’s too late, as their kitchen gets messier and messier!

Circus, slapstick and magic combine in this wild and wonderful adventure.

Suitable for our friends from last year (aged 3+ and their grown-ups) and for those new to the messy magic world, with Q and A or workshop available after the performance.

From the award-winning carnie-theatre team that brought you The Messy Magic Adventure, your little ones are invited to join us on a story filled with joy, laughter and the messiest juggling you’ve ever seen. Don’t worry - no matter how messy we get, all Ministry of Health guidelines will be followed.

Kitchen Chaos is on Wednesday 22 July, 4 pm at Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall, tickets are $10 at www.eventbrite.co.nz

let’s helpon let’s a hands jobeat!

Kerbside mixed recycling is back up and running, but did you know it relies on real people getting up close and personal with your recycling?

The recycling crew at the Material Recovery Facility in Frankton, hand sort and bale your mixed recycling.

Their job is a lot more pleasant, and Hugh MacEwan, Waste Management's a lot less smelly, when you recycle South Island Recycling manager, with right by rinsing out your recycling milk bottles sorted at the recycling plant in Frankton. cans, bottles and containers.

Nasty things like smelly food and nappies can really ruin their day, so have a quick check and remove any rubbish before you put your yellow bin out.

Looking after our recycling means we can meet the strict standards of recycling markets.

Too much contamination can ruin a whole load of recycling, so if in doubt, leave it out.

To recap, the yellow mixed recycling bin can only accept: Plastic bottles 1-7 (eg soft drink, juice and milk bottles) Plastic containers 1-7 (eg yoghurt and ice cream tubs) Cardboard & Paper (dry with no oil or food-scraps) Cans Anything else should go in the rubbish, including soft plastic bags, takeaway cups and containers, plastic-lined plant milk and other drink cartons, food scraps and nappies.

Top tip for weary parents and care-givers, make sure your red rubbish bin is closest to the door for quick and sanitary disposal of your little treasure’s stinky deposits.

And remember, never, ever put hot ashes in any kerbside bin.

Seeing fire in the rear vision mirror has to be every truck driver’s worst nightmare!

12 hour live music festival Arrowtown is celebrating coming out of lockdown with a 12-hour live music festival. There are no door charges and the event runs even if it’s snowing. Intimate venues where locals can support home grown entertainers in our own town known for its warm hospitality.

During the festival known as Arrow Sounds, local music rolls around different Arrowtown bars and restaurants for 12 hours on Saturday 20 June from 12 noon to 12 am. Patrons can sample a range of top musos by travelling from venue to venue or simply stop and enjoy a favourite performer in one of the charming venues.

Organiser Jeannie Crawford from the Fork and Tap has teamed up with the town’s various licensed venues to support local musos and to give local and visitors a reason to celebrate coming out of lockdown. Jeannie says, “we are excited and can’t wait for the fun to start”. Businesses are working hard to create an amazing event with patrons assured of a “feel good buzz”.

A midnight shuttle for only $10 is an easy option home to Lake Hayes Estate, Shotover Country, Queenstown and Arthurs Point.

successful exhibition opening The Lakes District Museum held what they believe was the world's first post-lockdown art exhibition opening last Thursday night. The Arrowtown Art Union Exhibition is sponsored by the Arrowtown Creative Arts Society and features over 100 works from over 40 local artists.

Several of the artists have donated 100% of the sale from their artwork to go straight to the museum's earthquake strengthening fund.

"It is wonderful to have the gallery full of art and people and life once again - that is what our gallery space is for! We were really happy with the turnout on Thursday and equally thrilled with the number of sales so far. The exhibition runs until the end of July so we hope lots of locals will pop in, have a look, and support our local artists." says Jane Peasey, Project Manager.

The exhibition runs until the 31st July in the gallery at the Lakes District Museum.
