Perhaps you would rather moth/butterfly wings? That’s fine, too. What about a Carrying Pole too? We can freely loan you some wonderful procession creations, so that you can join us in our Bardi Gras celebration on Easter Saturday, March 30th. The theme for this year is Turtles. Everyone welcome – kids, parents ,grandparents and friends. A real family affair.
