FOXTON EASTER SUNDAY MARKET

Gary from Waikanae

Where:- On the corner of State Highway 1 and Purcell Streets. (On the right as you enter Foxton from the south).

When: Easter Sunday 17 April 10am - 2pm

We will be showcasing Classic and Vintage Cars with quilts on, in and over them. Yvonne and her class groupies will have their Upcycled Furniture there and will run demonstrations on different things throughout the market - you may even be able to ask them for something specific if it is not too crazy!!!

The HITS radio station from Palmerston North will be there with giveaways and vouchers and market stalls with a large variety of quality items will be set up along the walkway. The Foxton and Beach Bowling Club members will be running a sausage Sizzle so you wont go hungry.

Come and join us at our first ever Cars Quilts and Cool Furniture day on Easter Sunday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
