Water-Mart Talent Wairarapa
The brainchild of Carterton Rotarian Vickie Pickering, the inaugural Water-Mart Talent Wairarapa event was a huge success. Vickie was ably supported by Nikki King, major sponsorship from Water-Mart and a team of Carterton Rotarians to make this a sell out.
There was a wonderfully diverse range of entries from singers, dancers, musicians, a drummer and spoons’ player with ages from 9 - 85 years. Heats were run earlier in the month and from a very high standard of entries 7 over 14 years and 9 finalists 14 and under were selected.
The winners were
Over 14 years
1st singer Courtney Neara - $1000 cash plus a Fuzzbox Design voucher to the value of $1500
Runners up were dancers Isabella Fisher & Amelia Butcher - $500 cash
14 years and under
1st dancer Kallum Armstrong - $500 plus a personalised poster
Runners up singers Triple A - $250 and Geraldine Inder Dancers - $250
People’s Choice was singer Jade Bradnock –Copthorne Voucher
A special thank you to judges Stefan Brown, Stephanie Barrett and Hemi Walker, and Ron Mark who stepped in for a voiceless Nikki King as MC and all the local businesses and individuals who gave such generous sponsorship.
