Berets, stripes and red, white and blue filled the streets of Milford on Saturday 23rd March, as businesses celebrated Vive la France Festival Day. Many business owners, as well as visitors, dressed in French-themed attire and market stalls were set up in front of stores and in the carpark. Music, song, dance, petanque, French café area, and a well-hyped snail race kept everyone relaxed and entertained. The highlight was the helloworld-sponsored draw of a trip to New Caledonia.
