It’s here – the 2010 Unison Winterfest

The finishing touches are being made on plans for the Unison Winterfest, being held next Saturday, 10 July.

Co-ordinated by Towncentre Taupo, the Unison Winterfest will include the inaugural Ebbett Taupo Trolley Derby, a repeat of the Seays Snowpark and a free drive-in movie.

“We’ve got loads of fun, free, family activities for Unison Winterfest,” said Towncentre Taupo General Manager, Kylie Hawker. “This event is all about celebrating our place as an alpine town, and having fun with family and friends.”

“We’re really excited about Winterfest,” said Ms Hawker. “We’ve built on the success of last year, and have a few new activities to add to the fun!”

Various activities taking place over the day include:

- Ebbett Taupo Trolley Derby – a new event where groups or individuals can build and race a trolley down Ferry Road hill from 11am. For registration and event information, contact the Towncentre Office or visit www.towncentretaupo.co.nz
-
- Seay’s Snowpark – after the success of last year, the snowpark has been expanded and moved on the Tongariro Domain for 2010. Be there from 9am onwards to play in the snow!
-
- Shop Taupo, Win Big prize draw – the major prize draw for this six week campaign takes place at 2pm on the Tongariro Domain. You need to be there to win. One lucky entrants name will be drawn, and they will enter the prize tent, and have 60 seconds to memorize as many of the prizes as possible. Whatever prizes they can then list to the MC, they keep. We’ll keep drawing names and sending winners into the prize tent until all $10,000 worth of prizes have been claimed.
-
- Ice Sculptures - we’ll be having renowned Ice carver, Logan Shipgood, in Taupo for the day. He will be bringing a number of ice creations with him, that will be displayed around town, as well as carving a special sculpture from ice outside Whitcoulls. Be there from 11am to watch him work.

Jagermeister Unison Winterfest Stage – Throughout the day, we’ll be having a range of fun activities taking place on the Jagermeister stage, including DJ OJ, a fashion parade at 11am, and a free concert by renowned band, Triple J, at 1pm.
