Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge!
The competition’s heating up for Lower Hutt’s Coolest drink this summer! From 13 to 30 January, 17 local cafés, restaurants, bars and bakeries have their own cool creations on offer as part of the 7th Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge.
Do you fancy cooling down with a Pokémon ‘Charizard’ inspired fruit slushy? Perhaps a ‘Squeeze the Day, Nothing is Impopsicle’ kiwifruit, lime and ginger number is your ideal refresher under a shady spot? There’s something for everyone amongst 17 options. One thing’s for sure though, we need your help to choose 2022’s coolest drink! Customers can vote for their favourite drink by scanning the QR code located in each café, or on the Cool As Challenge Facebook or Instagram pages.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
