Poll: Rural meets urban
Ata mārie kiritata,
The city's urban dwellers are about to meet Manawatū's rural dags for the annual Rural Games in Palmerston North's square.
More than 25,000 people are expected to come to town over two days, with national and international audiences through media, social media and television coverage.
Five per cent of the $1 million event is supported the city council, but the games trust's chairman Margaret Kouvelis wants a greater contribution to the games.
Should council contribute more?
-
23.5% Yes, five per cent is not enough.
-
76.5% No, they're getting the money from somewhere already.
Manawatu Guardian to cease publishing 😔
Sad news that the Manawatu Guardian newspaper is finishing up this month. It’s actually the only newspaper I read faithfully every week! I’d be happy to pay a small subscription to keep it going; hopefully if enough people feel the same, it would have a chance.
Cookie time Christmas buckets
Where in Palmerston North can I buy the cookie Christmas buckets. Cannot find any sellers outside the supermarkets this morning.
