Heritage Day Homestead Park 2011
OH Watch’s Heritage Day Festival at Homestead Park was going an absolute block buster.
These were some of the highlights:
Three Tons of Fun, female vocalists, the Andrew Ford Jazz Quartet, plus the well known Abigail Petersen as vocalist
More than 30 stalls from fresh veggies by the Adams Family, to apple cider from Peregrine Farm Stall.
Field of Springs Tours of historic newly restored Stadsfontein Spring, with Caron von Zeil.
Walking Tours of Upper and Lower places of historic significance in Oranjezicht, with Footsteps to Freedom
Gourmet Pizzas from Dish Catering
Delicious Boerie rolls from OH Watch
A selection of cheeses and charcuterie from Giovanni’s
Queen of Tarts cakes
Jean Nel herb chicken and burgers
Madame Zingara barbeque
En Masse MassagesWhen it comes to something for the younger ones, we had a fantastic programme. Starting with Magic Nick, the magician followed by the Snake Man, and the Bird Man. We also had the petting farmyard, which proved to be a big hit.
Thanks to our generous sponsor, Remax, OH Watch raised over R35 000 that will go back into our neighbourhood. Standby for more wonderful events in the park.
