The 2011 Japanese Cultural Festival was held at the Collingwood Town Hall. I had the pleasure again this year to be apart of the wonderful celebrations of everything Japanese. This year the donations and money raised were donated in support of the Earthquake victims.
It was a fantastic day and the crowds exceeded last years attendance. I held a Haiku writing workshop stall which was lots of fun and by lunch-time, the workshop attendance list was full. Thirty-five classes in total which I felt, was a success. I have been asked to attend the next festival in November 2012. Delightfully Haiku was on sale and copies were swept up by haiku lovers.
The music, dancers, costumes and atmosphere was very exciting, the town hall was buzzing. Thanks to all those supporters who turned up to say Hi.
