Woytopia described as successful

Woytopia, the biennial sustainable living festival held at Woy Woy South Public School on October 9, was described by organisers as "wonderfully successful".

The festival crammed 28 events into its one-day timetable including music, talks and shows such as free green living workshops from Central Coast Council and the No Bottled Water Challenge.

Children were kept busy with soccer, circus play, hula-hopping, story-telling, crafts, archery, a jumping castle and nature play.

Market stalls included everything from plants, clothing, hats and hemp products to African art and craft.

An extensive range of organisations with a sustainable outlook also had stalls at Woytopia 2016 including: the Great Cicada Blitz, Wildlife ARC, the Australian Conservation Foundation Central Coast Branch, Ocean and Coastal Care Initiative, Lock the Gate, the Peninsula Environment Group, Fire and Rescue NSW, Take Three for the Sea, the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Central Coast Community Energy Association, Darkinjung Local Area Land Council, Land for Wildlife, and Save the Geese.

Food stalls were also many and varied, catering to every taste from French Style Curros to the PEG sausage sizzle.
