Chairs, tables and tents in Free State
Sandstone cliffs and poplar-lined farm roads in the eastern Free State have made places like Clarens and Bethlehem a favourite for country weddings, often with guests from Gauteng and stock hired from wherever the nearest big firm sits. Bloemfontein is the centre of the rest: university graduations, government functions, church gatherings and the funerals and celebrations of Mangaung's townships. Welkom and Kroonstad have their own firms for mine and farm events, and Sasolburg is often served from the Vaal side. Frost is real here: winter nights get very cold and tents need sides and heaters. In summer, watch for hail and the soft ground that follows a storm on farm lawns.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Weddings and engagements: covered chairs with sashes in the wedding colours at every reception table
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: plain white or black covers on plastic chairs for the service in the tent
- Churches and faith gatherings: church anniversaries, ordinations and conferences where the hall chairs are dressed
