Tipi Pitching Date Set

I am still reeling from the wonderful example of how the universe provides. We needed $500.00 for the building consent for the tipi for the Earth Camp and low and behold someone nominates us (who ever you are thank you from the bottom of our hearts) for the Upper Hutt community service awards. We ended up winning for the Heritage and Environment Section and guess how much the prize money was. Yup, exactly $500.00. How blessed are we?
So now we are planning for the Tipi raising. I figured it could be a lot like an old fashion barn raising of sorts. So if you would like to come along and join in the event bring a dish to share and muscles to hold the poles and we will see if we can get this thing pitched with community power. The date of the Tipi pitching will be the 15th of November or the 16th if we are rained out on the 15th.

For those that are interested we got our Tipi from Jaia Tipis in Nelson
