Stallholders wanted
Some things have changed and will be a little different this year for our 11th year of our Annual Extravaganza in the Park.
EXPRESSION OF INTERESTS WHO SITES ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 19th JULY. Please read info, link is at the bottom to complete if you haven't already via the one sent out on email.
💥 Expressions of Interest open from 1st July - Sat 19th July. All applicants will be notified the week of 28th July if they have been successful or not.
💥 All expressions of interest need to be filled out on the official link when they open. We will not be responding to private messages, texts, phone calls, emails requesting a site. For those who have emailed and on our mailing list you will receive the link before it is made public.
💥 If you have attended in the past this does not mean you are automatically given a site. We have had people this week thinking this is how it works. Unfortunately, we have a process so please follow this.
💥 We have capped 100 sites.
💥 There will be limited food sites this year capped at 8. This doesn't include Homemade Baking sites in this category.

Good luck to each and everyone of you who expresses interest, we do appreciate it.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Will these roadworks affect you?
Don’t expect a quick trip between Cambridge and Tamahere for much of this year, because major roadworks are starting.
Asphalt works on that section of Waikato Expressway will run from March through to late 2026, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says. Motorists are warned to plan for significant delays.
“Unfortunately the pavement, particularly in the slow lanes, has deteriorated faster than expected,” NZTA’s Roger Brady said.
Will these roadworks affect you? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
