Planning for fireworks

PLANNING for the The Brook Park Fireworks Extravaganza is under way for this year’s event on Saturday, November 11.

As with the previous eight events the evening will include a massive bonfire, a Guy making competition and food stalls.

Past crowds have been about 1500-2000 people, Brook Park Committee chair Guy Whitaker said.

“We will be promoting this as a gold coin donation event and the proceeds will go to developing Brook Park as a place for our whole community to use and enjoy such as the Disc Golf and Mountain Bike track, some of our completed projects,” he said.

The 15–20-minute fireworks display is the major cost, which has increased by 30%.

The Lines Company has stepped up as a major sponsor and the committee was seeking support from other Te Kūiti businesses.
