Weatherproof fun this weekend as Festivals continue
Our two winter festivals are roaring along - with the weather not so flash t his weekend here are a few things to plan for as part of as part of the WBS Carterton Heart of Winter Festival, and the Greytown Festival of Christmas:
Cobblestones have lots of indoor activities planned and their cosy cafe will be serving delicious food so you can: Ride the fire engine, have a yummy lunch, then watch a movie, complete with live piano accompaniment, while eating a bag of popcorn. Great way to spend an afternoon and keep the kids busy. Here is their VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS on Saturday www.greytownvillage.com...
New lighting displays on four buildings in The Festival of Christmas !
4 key historical buildings (The Design Library, The White Swan, Blackwell & Sons, and Emporos) have new projection lighting displays on them. They're brilliant - come back and have another look,
Carteton's Asia and Friends Night Market is on on Saturday with totally delicious options. Rug up and chow down.
Their red carpet film festival event will well and truly warm up the Events Centre -check out the Film Festival event. www.cartertonec.co.nz...
Both days of the weekend you can get BIG fun from TINY things at the Miniature Expo in the Working Men's Club in Greytown.
Every night do a circuit of the private homes lit up with lights around Greytown - the map is below.
Enjoy a busy winter weekend!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
