\u201cGoeie feesbestuur en \u2018n onverwoesbare vertroue in die sukses van die Wildsfees het verseker dat hierdie liefling Oos-Kaapse fees post COVID-inperkinge kon oorleef.\u201d S\u00f3 s\u00ea Jenni Honsbein, feesdirekteur van die SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees wat van 24 tot 26 Junie vir die 20ste jaar aangebied word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 fees is s\u00f3 \u2018n sterk dat selfs nie die pandemie se twee streng grendeltydperke dit kon onderkry nie. Jenni het vyf vrae oor di\u00e9 merkwaardige fees aangepak:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Jenni Honsbein, twee jaar lank moes die feeshekke gesluit bly en hier is julle terug in volle swang tot groot vreugde van duisende Oos-Kapenaars. Wat maak hierdie fees so uniek, en hoekom is dit so gewild? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Wildsfees is gemeenskapsbesit en word deur die gemeenskap ondersteun. Dit is die fees se belangrikste krag. Die tweede is al die pret binne \u2018n feesatmosfeer \u00e8n die veiligheidsmaatre\u00ebls wat besoekers toelaat om van hul daaglikse sorge te vergeet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wat sou jy s\u00ea is die belangrikste knoop wat vir hierdie jaar se SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees deurgehaak is? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons het in die verlede saam Wild geraak, gekuier en nou in 2022, na so n lang onderbreking, verseker ons dat dit nog heeltyd speeltyd is. En toevallig is dit ook een van ons kunstenaars, Desmond Wells, se treffers. Daar is al in 2020 op die Heeltyd Speeltyd-tema besluit en ons het besluit die partytjie gaan aan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Daar gaan 24 nasionaal gewilde kunstenaars tydens die fees optree. Dit is omtrent prestasie te midde van begrotingstekorte in die pandemie \u2013 hoe het julle dit reggekry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die gees van welwillendheid het gese\u00ebvier. Ons bespreek altyd ons kunstenaars einde-Augustus vir die volgende jaar. Na 2019 se super-suksesvolle Wildsfees het ons die kunstenaars vir 2020 bespreek en selfs \u2018n 50% deposito betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toe COVID-19 en die grendeltydperk toeslaan, het die Wildsfees-direkteure besluit dit is uiters belangrik om elkeen finansie\u00ebl te beskerm. Ons het aan die kunstenaars ges\u00ea dat ons nie ons deposito\u2019s sal terugvra nie as hulle hul ondertekende kontrakte sal nakom wanneer die Wildsfees weer aangebied word. Al die kunstenaars wat beskikbaar was, het ingestem en drie jaar later is hulle hier. Behalwe Theuns Jordaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2018n belangrike aspek is dat die raad besluit het dat geen stalletjiehouer \u2018n sent op hul besprekingsfooie vir 2020 se Wildsfees sal verloor nie. Die keuse is aan hulle gegee om \u00f3f hul geld terug te kry \u00f3f om hul betaling te laat oorstaan tot die volgende Wildsfees. Die sterkste mosie van vertroue in die Wildsfees se sukses was toe byna meer as \u2018n derde van hulle hul geld in die Wildsfeeskoffers laat bly het. En dit vir langer as twee jaar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons loof ook die lojale en vasberade feespersoneel wat na twee jaar se pandemie-gedwonge \u201cwerkloosheid\u201d weer die leisels opgetel en laat waai het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Die wildsfees se fokus is veral op gesinsvermaak \u2013 maar is daar genoeg aktiwiteite om pa \u00e8n die kinders besig te hou? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ja, baie \u201coutydse\u201d pret is ingebring sodat oud en jonk die Wildsfees saam met ons in \u2018n veilige en ontspanne atmosfeer kan vier. By die Kinderkarnivaal kan die kinders outydse kermisspeletjies speel, terwyl ma en pa lekker eenkant kan sit en hulle dophou. Daar is nou vyf randverho\u00eb waar daagliks vermaak aangebied word. Elke area het \u2019n volle uitsig oor die hoofverhoogprogram wat saans aangebied word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verder het die ATKV het twee wonderlike vertonings na die Wildsfees gebring \u2013 een vir grootmense en een vir jongmense. Die ATKV-jeugtak KHS gaan ook kort kulturele aanbiedings op die planke bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Die snuffelmark met al die verskillende produkte wat te koop aangebied word, bly \u2018n hoogptepunt. Kan besoekers weer uitsien na handgemaakte produkte?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absoluut! Net om n paar voorbeelde te noem: uit Steytlerville kom Charming Shoes wat uniek, handgemaakte leerskoene te koop gaan aanbied, uit Pretoria kom Buffelsfontein Baardolie met mans haar- en gesigprodukte, Simply Bee produkte en byeboer opleiding uit die Wes-Kaap, Bonnieface houtsneeprodukte van Kaapstad, Nuts about Garlic uit Oudtshoorn, Guano Boost bemestingstof uit Limpopo en Plaas Bul Unisex kleredrag uit Kaapstad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
