Callan Park Festival New Date

Capture that once in a lifetime experience.

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men go out the window when dealing with development applications. The Callan Park Team though they had dealt with it in November…alas…it hasn’t turned out that way.

I think the secret it is to get everything in writing, but that’s only if you can get the right Council Officer and get them to put pen to paper. Hard to do when they don’t even answer emails.

But in the end I think it’s all turned out for the best. The Board had their meeting today and the NEW date for the Callan Park Mental Health Festival has been confirmed as Saturday, 25th September 2010. So it’s spring, rather than autumn. The best result is that it will be the start of the school holidays and only a week before mental health month (October), a good omen for a festival that is honouring those with mental health issues.

It also gives the Callan Park Team extra time to organise heaps more entertainment, like the ‘Circus Showcase’ with plenty of fascinating and colourful acts to entertain the kids (and adults too). High flyers and acrobats, clowns and jugglers, fire eating and stilt walkers, cotton candy, balloons galore and so much more!

The Callan Park Team have even organised roving (digital) photographers to capture that once in a lifetime look on a child’s face when they experience their very first circus and get to see the performers so close… they can touch them! You’ll be able to have these priceless images sent directly to your email to share the excitement with family and friends.

I’ll be posting more news as it happens. Don’t be left out of the fun… write the date (Saturday, 25th September 2010) in your calendar and put a big red circle around it, then share the news with all of your friends and family. You’ll be supporting a very worthwhile cause…Good Mental Health.

I hope to see you there!
