Cooroy Fusion Festival highlights all that is fantastic about the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. One of those is how close we are to the beautiful beach at Noosa Heads so this year thanks to the sponsorship of Tourism Noosa, the craft team at Cooroy Fusion Festival are bringing the beach to the hinterland with renowned international sand sculptor, Dennis Massoud!
“We throw a lot of ideas around the committee table when organising this event and this was one that just jumped out as something a little bit different. It fits perfectly with our sponsors Tourism Noosa, so we couldn’t resist making it happen,” explained event organiser, Chris Bell.
“Based right here in Noosa, Dennis Massoud is a world champion sand sculptor and has turned sand sculpting into a performing art. He has sculpted sand around the world, and at most major events throughout Australia and his sculptures have been used in television advertisements. So, having him at Fusion Festival just made perfect sense.”
“In addition to creating a work of art in front of the Butter Factory on the day, Dennis will also be sharing some of his skills and secrets by way of workshops in the afternoon”.
Some of the other activities at Cooroy Fusion Festival include the Cooroy Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank Entertainment Tent; Noosa Council Cooroy Library activities; Cooroy RSL Pickled Possum Bar; Cooroy IGA Tastes of the Hinterland Marquee; Wythes Real Estate Mother’s Day Activities; Tourism Noosa sand sculptor Dennis Massoud; Greenwood Grove Geckoes Wildlife Show and the Raine & Horne Real Estate Rock Climbing Wall.
There is also the Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society Annual Show in the Memorial Hall, displays at Cooroora Woodworkers, Cooroy Camphor Laurel, and the Butter Factory Arts Centre; plus market stalls and many other free activities such as rides, face painting and a great entertainment program, none of which would be possible without the generous sponsorships from the Cooroy Rag, Cooroy Chamber of Commerce, Suttons Cleaning Service, Cooroy Service Centre, Gelignite Jacks, Mower & ATV Solutions, Cartwrights Lawyers, Sunny Coast Accountants, Palm Lake Resort, SPM Law, Cooroy Hotel, John Madill Toyota, Hinternoosa Real Estate and Katie’s Ark.
For the dedicated community members that make this festival, fun, fabulous and free, Fiona Winter Realty are providing support with a special volunteer pack including a t-shirt and other goodies for all the volunteers.
