Returning to Canterbury after the tragic earthquake in Christchurch was a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate this beautiful and resilient area and people! Being as it was Phil Koeghans home stomping grounds didn’t hurt either and we made a great, fast paced and lively show with the help of all the local support we received from Tourism NZ, Canterbury Tourism and a myriad of local participants and suppliers.
