EarthDiverse invites you to attend Hamilton’s first ever ethnic folktales puppet show brought to you by Ifat Vayner and the Hands on Heritage project, to be held on Sunday 12 November 2023 at 2:00pm at the Gallagher Performing Arts Centre at Waikato University.

This free event is the culmination of a year long project to capture ethnic heritage knowledge in such a way that the particular community has the resources and techniques to pass along the knowledge to the next generation, as well as the ability to share their cultural knowledge with the wider community.

This project, directed by professional puppeteer Ifat Vayner, is part of the Whiria Te Tangata programme, and is supported by Creative Waikato, EarthDiverse and The Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Please come along and celebrate the stories and artistic achievements of Hamilton’s cultural communities.

The event is free, family friendly, and fun (and there’s food!) and all are invited to attend. Please feel free to pass this information on to others in your networks. To reserve tickets: please go on line at Humanitix (link below) to book free tickets – seats are limited, so don’t miss out!

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

That includes: why on Earth is there a cauldron of long-tailed bats which seems to enjoy hanging out in a KFC car park in Hamilton?⁠

Paddocks for Use

Corrine from Cambridge

We have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig.

We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after the paddocks i.e. spraying, etc. You are welcome to also look after the fruit trees and we would share the fruit. We normally give most of it away anyway. Ideal for a retired farmer wanting a project with the added bonus of having some land, animals and fruit. Open to suggestions. Thanks :-)
