North Coast Big 5 Competition

Ballito is a "small town" by most standards. We have a couple of local newspapers and big billboards, but mostly word of mouth is your greatest hope of successful advertising. It was a refreshing change when Jess from Sugar Rush invited me to be a part of the North Coast Big 5 Competition...at no cost to me. Tuesday the 3rd May saw the inaugural event taking place. A wonderful initiative by Sugar Rush  who really go out of their way to promote businesses in the area. They partnered with the North Coast Courier and Enterprise Ilembe and hosted a great evening out. The catering was done by Et Voila (info@etvoila.co.za) and the samoosas and other snacks were outstanding and traditional Zulu dancers added a Kwa-Zulu Natal touch. 

There were 5 categories...Health & Lifestyle which Sugar Dance entered, Activities, Entertainment, Community and Destinations. Who doesn't want to win? I certainly do not mind winning, especially when the organizers threw in a surprise by announcing that the winners would have a feature on national TV breakfast show Expresso on SABC 3!!! But alas, Sugar Dance was close, but lost out to Fashion Hair Lab. 


Winners: 

Activities – Crocodile Creek

Entertainment – The Litchi Orchard - congratulations to the Eb family !!

Destinations – Chaka’s Rock Chalets

Health & Lifestyle – Fashion Lab Hair Studio - well done Jana Van Rooyen :)

Community – Luthuli Museum

Thank you Jess and Gill and the rest of your team from Sugar Rush for creating a platform for businesses like mine. Next year I will work even harder to get the winning votes !!!
