Festival Convenor, Dawn Field said: “The event is going to remain in people’s hearts for a long, long time. Hanli’s velvet voice, especially singing ‘Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart’ and her pertinent words, a wonderful address from a very wise, gentle old man; beautiful prayers, and to top it all off … the Forte opera singers… was a surprise and had everyone in tears. I know that our Father is pleased. The warmth and love was palpable.”

The service was held in a glorious garden setting with beautiful weather to give glory to God for the holding of the first Footprints Festival.
Said Field: “Although we can improve in many areas the Festival has been a big success. The craft market was rated by the crafters as one of the best in Southern Africa – a real craft market – no imported cheap items. And the entertainment in the evenings was great.”
