The Huskies Picnic will be held on the 24 June 2007, at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.  This is a fun-filled day of activities and entertainment for the whole family.  The program commences at 10am and finishes at 4pm. 

This year’s program is jam packed with entertainment and a raft of new activities from start to finish.  You can see demonstrations of real working huskies, beautiful ice sculptures by Kenji, one of the worlds leading artists in ice carving, and be entertained by a myriad of performers.
