The Real NZ Experience Katikati Festival was an amazing event and the community support that was provided could not be faulted, according to town promotions manager, Jacqui Knight.
"There are too many businesses, organisations and individuals to name them all, but I sincerely appreciate what everyone has done."
It all started back in October last year.
"Getting the Lotteries grant application form completed, to seeing it all come together 12 months later was great."
Having received the $11,500 grant plus additional support from the Katikati Community Board and local businesses meant that we could get some sound promotions happening, says Jacqui.
