Painting feathers was fun for sisters Katy, 10, left, and Penny Gibbons, 7, and their cousin Andi McCollough, 5.

Painting feathers was fun for sisters Katy, 10, left, and Penny Gibbons, 7, and their cousin Andi McCollough, 5.

ArtBeat's 23rd on Saturday's proved it's still a much loved community day.
Cafler Park was again the venue for Whangārei's free, family-friendly interactive creative event. Features included the kids' interactive area with the popular face-painting station and a Youth Zone with a number of e-game and digital stalls. A food
market, art and crafts stalls, buskers and Pacifika Fusion Festival added to the fun. Tania Whyte was there with her camera.
