Tell us about a local business that makes your day?
We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’. Well, it’s payback time!
Give your favourite local business owner the recognition they deserve by nominating them in the 2021 Prospa Local Business Hero awards – and they could be up for some fantastic prizes (T&C’s apply).

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

Matt Joe Gow at Hilltop Saturday 28 February
Today Saturday 7pm for 7.30 Start.

Backed subtly by a finger picked guitar figure, his voice will mesmerise you and allow you to slip away from whatever it was you were doing. His musical style is influenced by folk, blues, and soulful rock while being firmly rooted in country. Come along for a lovely evening concert. www.hilltophouseconcerts.co.nz...... ... All details sent with confirmation email.
