FREE Kids Zone @ AfroFest!
Kids are invited to frolic on Sunday, May 18 at the Africa Comes to the Manning festival. Taree’s Art Gallery will be the hub for free activities from 9:30 am to 3 pm. Organised by Tinonee resident Beth Fuller, the Kid Zone’s activities include creating leaf animals, building mobiles and making a jungle from woven trees. In addition, small groups can try African instruments with Afro Moses, a Newcastle-based musician originally from Ghana, and kids of all ages are encouraged to give African dance moves a go with Taree instructor Linguere Bischofberger, who is orginally from Senegal.
