AND (DRUM ROLL)
It'll also be the official opening of the newly designed Mahara Place - we'll let you have more details of the prizes and timeframe when we know more, but they include a brilliant family prize -
There'll be lots of ideas from people like Terry and Sam for your Spring garden now the ground is warming up, and Shane's bikes with engines for getting around in the warming weather (how good is that?!) - and of course our inestimable Andy the Butcher!
Make a day of your visit to Waikanae - catch the train and then lunch at our town centre cafes, a walk down the lovely Waikanae River afterwards -
