Cool as way to celebrate summer
It’s well and truly summer now, so a cool drink could be top of the list if you’re out and about.
For the second year, the Cool As Challenge will take place in Porirua, with each participating café creating their own unique drink that will be judged by a public vote.
Nineteen venues in Porirua will be taking part in the challenge from 16 February to 3 March, with more than 30 signature summer drinks will be available across Porirua and Lower Hutt. Our community is encouraged to get out and support local businesses that have created a unique thirst-quencher.
Go to coolaschallenge.nz for a map and downloadable drink list.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
