Kāpiti Christmas Parade and Festival
Kāpiti, your Christmas wishes have come true! 🎄🎅 Join us for a fantastic day of holiday celebrations on Sunday, 10 December, from 11am to 4pm.
Be enchanted by the Christmas floats as they parade around Southward Car Museum's driveway starting at 11am. Santa himself will be there, so make sure to give him a friendly wave! 🎅
And the fun doesn't stop there! Head behind the museum for a festival filled with bouncy castles, delicious food trucks, live music, and more. And of course, remember to visit Santa in his Grotto.
A free Christmas Bus will leave Paraparaumu train station every 30 minutes to bring attendees to the event and back again – first bus departs at 10.30am for the parade.

Yet another scam
Just got an email from strange looking email address asking I update information re parcel being delivered by NZ Post.
Not NZ Post address so I’ve deleted it.
But bit anxious as I am expecting a parcel that’s been delayed so will check the tracking number.
No wonder people fall for the scams as they seem so genuine.
Take care out there people
⚠️ 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 ❤️
