Barnardos 17th Annual Teddy Bears Picnic, organised by Hamilton Parents Centre (HPC). The Teddy Bears Picnic is run as part of the 2012 Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival. The day is organised by a group of HPC volunteers and focuses on being one of Hamilton’s largest child focussed days. HPC aims to provide a fun day out for the family, full of entertainment and prizes.
The Teddy Bears Picnic is HPC’s annual fundraiser, in its 17th year this year. All proceeds on the day go towards running the parent education classes, toy library and music group for Hamilton Parent Centres 150+ members and the local parenting community throughout the coming year.
Entertainment is live on stage throughout the day plus a range of roaming acts to give the day a festival feel. Entertainers include Hamilton’s own, The Funky Monkeys, Zappolina, Face painters, Fairies, Stilt walkers and Balloons Funtastic to name a few. Jenni from Classic Hits will MC the event again.
There will be numerous spot prizes kindly donated by local businesses as well as a gate prize, along with two fancy dress competitions, one held in the morning and another held again in the afternoon.
Amusements and food stalls will be operating for the duration plus the PORSE tent is available for nappy changing, baby feeding and lost children.
Hamilton Parents Centre greatly appreciates the support we have had from our major sponsors for the day, Barnardos, Westpac and Classic Hits 98.6ZHFM. We would also like to thank the Hamilton Gardens Summer Festival for their ongoing support.
