Manawatu Art Expo is less than one month away!
Back for its 15th year, Manawatū Art Expo is our region’s premier art event. As well as being a cash and carry art show, it’s an opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and even see how some of it is made. There'll be 98 artists from around the country exhibiting work and some of them will even be there on the day…
Among them, this year’s guest artist, Vonnie Sterritt. She’ll be presenting demonstrations and exhibiting work right at the entrance to Manawatū Art Expo all weekend, and says she hopes that everyone who walks through those doors from July 15 to 17 thinks, “wow, this is a great exhibition.”
We’re sure you’ll be inspired by all the artwork on show for Manawatū Art Expo: 9am and 4.30pm every day from 15 to 17 July at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre. Entry is $5 and under 14s enter for free.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Hot Water Cupboard
We are looking for someone who can make a door in the wall where our hot water cylinder is. We had one made at our old place which gave easy access to the cylinder. Would appreciate any suggestions please.
