The clear blue skies allowed Elsburg Earth Angels\u2019 October Festival to go off without a drop of rain last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Water balloons landed comfortably on a few people\u2019s backs and heads, cooling them as they walked around from stall to stall.<\/p>

The fund-raising event for the community was held at Ho\u00ebrskool Elsburg.<\/p>\n

Zenobia Venter was the lucky winner of the raffle competition, winning herself a hamper filled with tasty treats and drinks.<\/p>

Twelve-year-old Kesha Gavril, from Penny\u2019s Vocal Training, also matched the days delights with cheery songs and knocked-out cover songs requested by festival attendees.<\/p>\n

Hacky Louw, Linda Oosthuizen and Jerry Lewis were among the singers booked on the day too.<\/p>\n

Annetjie Blignaut, a community worker from Elsburg Earth Angels, thanked the organisers for their efforts in making the day a success, although they did not reach the number of guests expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to Hannes Nieuwoudt, principal of Ho\u00ebrskool Elsburg, for permitting us the use of their school grounds,\u201d said Annetjie.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The Germiston City News was led to believe that it was Elssies Hope, Love and Daycare Centre who had organised the October Festival, however, this was a case of miscommunication, and the article has been rectified with the correct organisers being mentioned. The GCN apologises for any inconvenience caused.
