2023 Kevin Hoffman Walk Calendar

Theme: Colours of the Walk

The 2023 calendar celebrated the rich colours found throughout the Kevin Hoffman Walk — from soft native foliage and vibrant wildflowers to the ever-changing shades of the seasons. The images featured were selected from our 2022 photo competition, which invited amateur photographers to capture the many hues that bring the Walk to life.

Here are some words from our Cover Winner, Deb Shae, as printed in the calendar:

“Whenever I spend time at the Kevin Hoffman Walk I am filled with the most calming sense of peace and serenity.
Meandering along the trail, every part of the walk is soothing to the soul – from the beautifully maintained gardens, the colours and scents of the native bushes and flowers, the sounds of the birds as they sing in shared enjoyment of this wonderful setting.
I’m so grateful that we have this tranquil oasis within our little town, and for the chance to capture some of its beauty using the amazing camera on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone.
I am thankful for the opportunity to enter my photos into your calendar contest, and humbly honoured to have one of them chosen to adorn the cover.”

Supporting Our Community Sponsors

For the first time, the 2023 calendar also included dedicated space on the back cover to acknowledge and thank our Platinum Sponsors:

Their support plays an important role in helping us care for, preserve and promote the Walk.

Supporting the Walk

Sales of the 2023 calendar continued to provide vital funds for the upkeep of the Walk, including the employment of our part-time gardener. We sincerely thank everyone who purchased a calendar and supported this ongoing community project.

With Thanks to Our Printer
