24 Sep 10

Planning is underway for the 2010 Methven - Mt Hutt Spring Fest which will start on Friday 24th September and finish on Sunday 3rd October. A draft programme has been developed and will be confirmed by the end of this month.

The Methven Big Air will be back and will open the week of events in style outside The Blue Pub.

Planned mountain activities include a Guinness Book world record attempt, the comical Downhill Dummy race, pro-star Uphill/downhill race and the famous Pond Skim, always a hit watching people on skis/boards skim across ice cold water. Also, the two stage Mountain Bike race, which sees the first leg on snow and the second leg down the DHNZ mountain bike track will feature some of Canterbury's top Downhill mountain bike riders.

In Methven activities are likely to include the "Farmers Market Mardi Gras, Kids Disco, Drive in Movie, and the Big Rides days. The Brown Pub Country Day will be back with some good old fashioned madness and mayhem. There will be plenty of live music and entertainment all over town throughout the week for those with the urge to party on until late.

The final weekend of the festival sees the legendary Peak to Pub Race; a chance for competitors, to ski, cycle, and run to the Blue Pub, which takes gasping for a drink to a whole new level!

It's set to be the biggest and best party of the year, expect some awesome spring skiing at Mt Hutt and be entertained in Methven - Why not make this a Spring to remember!
