Council pops up at harvest festival

CLARENCE City

Council will operate an interactive pop-up stall at next month’s Warrane Community Garden Harvest Festival.

Many people still enjoy face-to-face connection, despite there being many ways to engage and learn online. To meet this need in the community, the council stall will give people a hands-on chance to discover some of the programs and services offered by council.

Clarence Mayor Brendan Blomeley said it was important that as many people as possible – from all walks of life –know what's available and how to participate.

“This is an opportunity for people to come along and have fun in their local area, bring along their neighbours or meet someone new in their community, and importantly gain information about what programs and services may be of benefit to them,” he said.

“Technology is a very efficient way to share information, but the council is aware that not everyone can access this digitally and we are always looking at ways to include as many people as possible and make information accessible to all.

“I encourage anyone who is interested to come along – there is no need to register, you can just turn up and enjoy.”

The event is free, and council stall will offer a range of activities including interactive games, art projects, plant potting, complementary food, and the chance to get a taste of some of council programs including a Fitness in the Park demo and more. For more information phone the council on 6217 9500, email clarence@ccc.tas.gov.au, or go to the council website.

The Warrane Community Garden Harvest Festival will be held at 18 Heemskirk St, Warrane from 19.30am – 11.30am on Saturday 1 April.
