Art in the Sand for Neighbours Day/Week

Rose from The Rose Centre

Put aside March 23! Around 3pm, the Rose Centre will put on an art event that can involve you and your families at Narrow Neck beach.

Acclaimed sand artist David Hilliam (Google David Hilliam beach tagger) will create a beach art right there in the sand. Join us for a piece of fun and art for all. Just come and watch, or put your hand up for David to have you be part of the art rendering team. If you want to add to the art make sure you bring a rake, leaf rake or big stick/pole.

This is a 100% free event. Just show up, bring your own refreshments and of course the Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap SunSmart suggested behaviour is highly recommended!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Rain check days - our backups are 3pm on the 24th or 8am on the 30th.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
