A SAMPLE VIDEO OF THE MUSIC WE ENJOYED
The Hippo's arrive as part of Arts for Rutland's Artistic events
being held all over Rutland from April to June this year.
Last night at the Great Hall of Oakham Castle,
The events got of to a super start.
We saw for the first time a decorated Hippo!
Already to wallow somewhere
in
Rutland
Arts for Rutland have a strong commitment
in our county
Cllr Peter Jones along with Arts for Rutland has worked
very hard to achieve the much needed sponsorship.
So far they have acquired the sum of £18,000
I know they would be pleased to hear
from any other willing sponsors
The hippos will find their way to many of Rutland's streets,
parks and open spaces
The project is similar to Liverpool's 'Superlambananas'
and Northampton's pride of lions.
It is hoped the Hippo's will all be painted by
local artists and groups.
Look out for the trail starting in June and ending in September
