Otorohanga Steamfest

Barry from Otorohanga District

Well what an outstanding success the weekend was. The weather was a bit unkind and what a tease to have great days all this week. The rain didn't stop about 8000 people attending. How do we know?
The Otorohanga District Council has a very sophisticated drone that was flown throughout Steamfest weekend and it was used to take a series of photographs so that a head-count could be made at different times of each day.
Steamfest 2018 is being planned right now. The website www.steamfest.co.nz... was updated on Sunday night with a form to register for information mail-outs, and by early Monday morning several hundred people had already registered. We even had one lady arrive at the office wanting to pre-pay for seats on the 2018 Dinner Train.
Lots of great photo's can be seen on www.facebook.com...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
