Poll: Have you ever been in Hamilton's Christmas parade?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Santa’s sleigh will still roll through Hamilton this December — but for the first time, community groups will need to pay to be part of the parade.

Organisers of the First Credit Union Christmas Parade have introduced a $50 entry fee for groups wanting to put a float on show, alongside a $300 charge for businesses. Schools will still be able to enter free.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
