Island Booth at the Market, 21 Dec 201321 Dec 2013 Although it is Christmas next week, visitors to the island seemed confused by our array of hats, noses, antlers and festive paraphernalia. Locals were less shy, and came by for their annual family / Xmas card photo. Junior boothers roped-in visiting family members; meitaki to all the older brothers, uncles, and dads who embraced the festive spirit. We also saw some familiar faces from the Hula Mania dance competition last night.

Hula Mania 6, 21 Dec 201321 Dec 2013 The finals night saw more support for the dancers, with a few contestants visiting the booth direct from the stage. We took pix for families staying across at the school for a family reunion, and great solos, destined for homes in the Pa Enua.

Hula Mania 6, 20 Dec 201320 Dec 2013 Hula Mania was in town was in the 80s, so there was much curiosity about the event - a Cook Islands duo dance competition and cabaret evening. We popped into the Aro'a Nui before the booth session, and the Nesian Mana team had done an awesome job with the staging – working mainly with organic materials. As it was the week before Christmas, we brought our Xmas props along which provided much entertainment for the ushers.

Muri Christmas, 12 Dec 201312 Dec 2013 The Muri night market on Thursday has quickly become the place to catch up with family and friends, while sharing fresh grilled fish, curry, BBQ plate or one of the many dessert options. We returned from Aroko-enforced night-market-retirement for a special ‘Muri Christmas’ booth session, with a host of new Xmas headbands (thanks aunty Brenda), and our ever growing array of festive props.
A highlight for us was the tireless and inventive repertoire of the string band, possibly including a island version of ‘Cotton-Eye Joe’?
Aroko camped out on a blanket with his uncles to watch the performance, while aunty Christina, replete in red fairy wings helped dress boothers, and gave out some sweet treats.

Island Booth at the Market, 7 Dec 20137 Dec 2013 It’s the time of year when Kukis return for the Summer – we saw some familiar faces, and were introduced to new pepes. We took our own Christmas photo, and Mel and Pete waited for Aroko to wake up and take a kia manuia pic. before they leave for NZ. We reinvested our market earnings at the Jim’s garage sale, and picked up another few bags of lychees.
Bella dropped by to let us know the good news about Teuira being crowned ‘Miss South Pacific’, and the Aitutaki netball team returned to rock the booth before heading home.

Island Booth at the Market, 30 Nov 201330 Nov 2013 Today was Justine’s birthday, and she chose one of her favourite backdrops - Tipani Pink, however fellow vendors at the market bullied us into starting our Christmas season early – so Kiritimiti it was. We dusted-off our Xmas props and added a few new item: sparkly ties, festive shades, new caps and hats.
This weekend the teams arrived for Netball in Paradise, and the Aitutaki team decided to camp-out at the booth. Handing out photo strips was made more difficult by the girls wearing their team Ts, matching shades, and sporting the same hairstyle.
We also bid kia manuia to the last of the paddlers, and took pix for bemused honeymooners, wedding couples and visiting families.

Island Booth at the Market, 22 Dec 201222 Dec 2012 Our final Christmas session for 2012, just in time for junior boothers looking for Saturday morning distraction. The girls were throwing down some fierce model poses, with 10-gallon hats and trilbies the props-of-choice. We had fresh faces in the booth as Kukis come home for the Dec-Jan family reunion season. We also debuted our new fashion forward Xmas ei katu; and traded a blow-up for a sparkly blue santa hat.

Starlight Concert21 Dec 2012 The Starlight Concert was organised by the Impact Youth group, with talented performers singing and dancing up a storm. Outside the AOG Hall, vendors cooked up tasty treats, painted faces and took Christmas pix. The tamariki explored Candy Land and were entertained by the youth leaders. We added showbiz props to our Christmas selection for that Island-Santa-on-Broadway look.
