& Interests By Mel Bowman-Finn
WE have trivia nights, karaoke, pool comps, movies, sports, live music, DJ’s, card games, Cars ‘n’ Coffee, poetry, festivals and more. All in the neat little package that is the Cassowary Coast. I went to a few jives myself and was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of our region’s entertainment. During an evening featuring out-of-town muso, Tessa Devine, I explored a quality of sound and live music that was pure beauty to my ears. On another night, I found myself in a crowd of
over one hundred people singing in the best unison they could muster at a pub choir. It was so well organized, orchestrated and vibrant, I walked away knowing I was part of something bigger. Art deco parties were at their finest, while club style events and jam nights also brought people that sense of togetherness we all so well deserve. Where did you go? What made it special? Don’t hesitate to let me know by writing me on news@ccin.com.au
MISSION BEACH COMMUNITY CASSOWARY FESTIVAL Saturday 21st Sept 2019
MEL BOWMAN-FINN MARK the date in your calendar, the first Saturday of the school holidays, the 21st of September, for a festival worth its weight for our region in the name of cassowary awareness. These days, progress isn’t considered progress unless our climate and environmental impact is taken into account. With that in mind, this Mission Beach Community Cassowary Festival aims to raise funds of $7000 to ensure the ‘Cassowary Corridor Mapping’ is complete. In doing so, we are helping to enable protection for the amazing cassowary, and in turn these wet tropics environment that we have learned to value so much. Come along, bring the family. Many environmental groups will be on board for an informative display: a great program of kid’s activities in the Stripeys’ Tent, art installations, a friendly array of local musicians; Coral Coast Collective, Cedar Vines, Pauly P, Penny Bell, Doc and John Brown for all our entertainment, Mission Arts artist displays, belly dancing, food stalls and more. To start proceedings groups, individuals, adults and children are invited to meet in the Village Green Mission Beach by 9:30am to launch the day with the parade, The Drumming of the Cassowary. Dress in costume, cassowary colours or anything that displays our natural envi-
ronment. Prizes are to be won for best cassowary costume. This parade is taking to the streets in the name of cassowary conservation, leading up the road to the central stage of the festival where the market stalls are situated and the entertainment begins. With this festival being the only one scheduled for Mission Beach this year, be sure to give it your all in the name of togetherness for our natural surroundings.

Importantly, keep your eye on the Gig Guide so you can make the best of your own social calendar. It really feels like there is something for everybody. Where you heard it on the Grapevine…

A Buskers Note MEL BOWMAN-FINN
RECENTLY it has come to my attention the role of buskers amongst a village. A friend noted that when she was on holiday elsewhere recently, there seemed to be a stream of music that defined her and her husbands’ journey. At markets, upon the street, there was always a song to mark the occasion, and of course, a character behind that song. When she heard the beautiful chime of ‘Halleluiah’ for a second time, it uplifted her. Only to be told by the cab driver that he has heard it a million times from the very same person, maybe a little much for his liking. I decided to make some enquiries about busking in our region. Contrary to some belief out there that it is illegal here, it is not. Just as anywhere it has a few regulations to keep us all happy. So let’s say busking is a sure thing. If you go to the CCRC website you will find you can apply using the ‘Application Commercial Activity
on a Road’ – Busking, soliciting and touting. There is no fee, but insurance is needed. Grab your permit. One of the requirements is that the busker seeks permission from the shops they choose to busk in front of. This is only to avoid the council being called regarding what may be termed nuisance style music. The thing is, we have different tastes, so be sure to bring yours to a place where it’s welcome. As for shop owners, bear in mind. You may hear it a few times over, but the visitor only hears it once. That moment is defined for them. Music brings beauty, laughter and emotion, which in turn brings a memory to that very spot. Do you want your shop and your town to be remembered in its many colours? When a friendly busker asks your permission, give them a chance. Make a deal as to the frequency, letting us walk and dance to the tunes of our fellow musos and the character of the town for which we are so proud.

Mission Arts Awards & Exhibition Gala Opening Night to Showcase Our Best Artists MEL BOWMAN-FINN
WHETHER you are a frequent arty visitor, a tourist, or possibly a resident who has never been before, this weekend and for the coming weeks after, is a great time to visit Mission Arts. Patrons can expect a spectacular event, showcasing a whopping 70 works of art from 44 Cassowary Coast, Cairns, and Tablelands artists. The 2019 Mission Arts Awards & Exhibition Gala Opening Night, will be held this Saturday, August 31, starting at 6:00pm. Artists are in the running for $2900 in prize money, participating in nine Award Categories. This is considered an event to remember in the Cassowary Coast Region. A Mission Arts’ representative said, “Your attendance and support at this ticketed fundraising gala event enables us to continue to grow vibrant creative opportunities for our area’s artists, our community arts organisation, and our valuable community partners/sponsors. Thank you for supporting the arts.” An auction will take place for a stunning collaborative painting titled, Floral Tropicana (pictured), featuring iconic flowers of North Queensland created by the brushstrokes of over 100 local community members. With delicious finger food prepared by foodie-favourite The Queens Hotel Innisfail, raffles, and a cash bar, it’s sure to be a wonderful night for the arts.
The following Sunday morning at 10:00am there is an informal judges’ critique for anyone who would like to attend and of course, in the weeks after the gala event, be sure to visit the exhibition, which will remain hanging until October 23. Entry to the gallery is free of charge daily.
