The industrial sector of Warkworth will continue the Kowhai Festival buzz on Sunday, October 29 with a fundraising event for emergency services.
The Warkworth Street Party will be held on Morrison Drive at the Gymspot and Repco Warkworth car parks, from 9am to 6pm.
Kit Johnston, Tracey Frost and other Warkworth business owners have teamed up to organise the day in support of the Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade and Warkworth Ambulance Station.
“I’ve seen the good work of emergency services countless times so we’re supporting the people who save lives,” Kit says.
“This is really a community-orientated event that will help raise money and bring people to meet the businesses on the other side of town.”
The highlight of the day will be a display of motorbikes, hot rods and classic cars outside the Repco store.
An auction will be run with a large range of prizes from gym memberships to auto care vouchers and haircuts.
Entertainment will be provided by three DJ’s during the day and a bouncy castle will keep the kids happy.
Kit says because this is the first year they have run the event, he isn’t sure what to expect.
“We just want as many people to turn up as possible and every dollar we make is going to a good cause. If things go well, we will look at making it an annual event.”
