The Stars are ready to shine - again!
After being hit by COVID (twice!) the Student Stars concert is back on again - this time on Sunday 18th October at 3 pm in the Theatre Royal.
But this does mean the 12 performers have had extra time to rehearse. Where else can you hear 12 top student musicians and two orchestras? The Taranaki Symphony Orchestra and the Taranaki Youth Orchestra have combined for this concert which will be an exciting and fantastic concert - great for the whole family.
For those who bought tickets for the previous postponed concert, your tickets and seats are still valid for the 18th. Otherwise tickets are still available from Ticketek (either at the box office or on-line).
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
