The Unpackit crew will be in Raglan on Wednesday and Thursday (20th and 21st April), encouraging people to have their say in the 2011 Unpackit Packaging Awards which looks at some of the best and worst packaged items on sale in NZ.
The crew will be doing a free show at the Raglan town hall at 12.30pm on Wednesday – all welcome. It will be followed by a visit to the school holiday programme on Thursday at Xtreme Waste ( if you would like to come to this show please call Xtreme Waste on 825 6509 or just come along to the recycling centre at 12 noon.)
The Unpackit team will perform skits from their roadshow which includes chip-pack juggling, wrapper rapping and bananas on stilts. It is going to be heaps of fun and a great thing to take the kids to as it is school holidays.
There will be a display featuring the 16 finalists in the 2011 people’s choice awards for the best and worst packaging in New Zealand.
People will be able to vote for their pick of the “Best” and “Worst” finalists. So do come along and place your vote.
Votes can also be made online at www.unpackit.org.
Roadshow organiser Ivy Willmott said the idea behind the Unpackit roadshow is to make people laugh as well as making them think.
“It’s a serious message, but it doesn’t need to be boring,” she said.
