	The Wildfoods Festival is mentioned in many publications around the world and we received this glowing report from across the ditch - Here's what Not Quite Nigella thought of Hokitika's Wildfoods Festival - http://www.notquitenigella.com/2010/03/25/worm-sushi-huhu-grubs-grasshoppers-hokitika-wild-foods-festival-new-zealand/
	The winners of the Best Dressed prize were dressed as the greatest party of all time - 'The Mad Hatter's Tea Party'. They won a trip for two to Melbourne and three nights accommodation with airport transfers thrown in. Congratulations Mad Hatters! The 2012 Theme is "Westland…Wild Foods.. Wild Time" so it will be interesting to see the 'take' on this theme. What costume are YOU going to wear.
	The 2011 Festival welcomed media from all over the world who came to cover the event. We are now featured in magazines and newspapers in many different countries. We think that makes us truly global!! The first question the media always ask is 'What's NEW on the menu?' the 2012 festival will offer a little something new and exciting for the adventurous palate.
