Fire dancers light up sky for SPCA
On Saturday, November 5, there were some sparks at the Guido’s Beach Bar parking lot but these were in support of animals as members of Blom’s Entertainment put on a fire poi display in their AntiGuy Fawkes event.
The event was in support of the Port Alfred and Ndlambe district SPCA.
Bloms Entertainment owner, Richard Blom, and fellow fire spinners Skyelar Dacomb and Kyro Mannahime, put on an enthralling display.
“I’ve been doing fire poi since I was 12,” said Blom.
“A few months back, myself and some friends came together and started our own fire poi group where we get together and have fun and also now do bookings for events.”
The owners of Guido’s in Port Alfred offered the venue to the group, who selected the local SPCA as the beneficiary because of the effect that fireworks have on animals at this time of the year, especially during Guy Fawkes.
Attendees were encouraged to bring food donations for the SPCA to the event.
A donation was also received from the Kowie Veterinary Clinic.
“We gathered more than 100kg of food for the SPCA,” said Blom.
”Due to the success of the event and the appreciation of the SPCA and locals, we are going to continue doing such events once a month at Guidos.
”We love getting the community involved and we are trying to give back as much as we can to our community.”
