BUBBLY BALLET (New Event)
Sponsored by Napier City Pak’nSave
“Forever Bubbles” is a light-hearted look at New Zealand in the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s – a slice of Kiwiana from the “housewives’” point of view.

The radio and gramophone give accompaniment to three decades of washing, ironing and cleaning with dance crazes of the time, Aunt Daisy’s handy household hints and some of the great musical hits of the various eras.
