Aldinga on Display is over!... Blue balloons over
the township did so well with the help of
whirling kites that, in the
afternoon, even the sky decided to join
in the celebrations. There have been wonderful
happenings all over Aldinga and the village
offered excellent moments to its visitors.
Thanks to all those who contributed:
Jane and Michael offered the most delicious pizzas..! Lynda and Tony took visitors around and Elizabeth and Tony explained the ethos and the environmental advantages of the village. Margaret and Anne exhibited lovely baskets and were joined by Audrey (a possible future villager) who spins soft and colourful wools. Justin had a well deserved success with his sculptures, as did Charlie and Violet with their pottery. Lou offered great music and the Village Singers sang some spirited songs.
See the ATTACHED “Village Happenings” for more pictures of the activities

VILLAGE HAPPENINGS AoD
Lots of thanks also to those who made the village so neat and appealing, who put up the flags; who covered the give away table with delicious fruit and vegies from their gardens; and who offered their welcome all over the village...
It was a great way to enjoy a day when at last, there was no rain, little wind, and just enough cool to feel well and alive.
And for the children: there are lots of FREE blue balloons to find around the Village. Please take them down for your play wherever you can find them

A very big thank-you to Francoise for all the preparation, including going to many organising meetings, and to both Francoise and Ken for all the efforts that went into preparing materials and liaising with participants for our Village part of the day.
Thank you also to the landscape workers who had the common land looking wonderfully cared for; to the artists who showed their work in progress, and to Lynda, Tony and Elizabeth for the stimulating show-and-tell activities with interested visitors.
