4 Thursday September 29 2022 Inaugural festival celebrates all • By Geoff Sloan A DREAM became reality as dancers jived and jitterbugged their way around the dance floor at the inaugural Vintage Fest NZ, held at the Lincoln Event Centre over the long weekend. The brand new event was the brainchild of Sharvelle Mackay, a long-time fan of all things vintage. “This was an opportunity to put the love of vintage into one place and make a really prestigious event for all of our vintage lovers,” she said. The festival showcased everything vintage, with the theme of wartime and the victory era. Classic car and military vehicles were on display, along with vintage stall-holders and a best dressed pageant. Mackay said she worked with her fellow committee members for a year-and-a-half to create the community event, but admits to a few sleepless nights. “It costs a lot of money to put on an event like this, and to have the money up front, to be able to pay for certain things has been quite difficult. So that has definitely been our biggest challenge”. Any proceeds will be reinvested back into next year’s event, which she hints might have an ‘old Hollywood’ theme. - Public Interest Journalism funded through NZ On Air DEDICATION: Vintage Fest NZ event manager Sharvelle Mackay from Rolleston.
