In Pictures: Balloons Over Waikato lights up the skies

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Stunning weather arrived for the opening day of Balloons Over Waikato and it went off with a bang, namely, an epic fireworks display lighting up the skies at Waikato University.

Waikato Times visual journalist Christel Yardley was there to capture the people and the spectacle yet the week-long hot air balloon festival has plenty more to offer.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
