Greytown fundraiser this Saturday (25 Feb)
Enjoy this weekend by combining both shopping and doing good for the cyclone-affected Hawke's Bay this weekend in Wairarapa.
This Saturday (25 Feb) Greytown is hosting ‘Day for the Bay’ and invites all to come along to support our northern neighbours.
Greytown businesses, services and hospitality venues have joined forces to put on a day of specials, offers and raffles with more than $10,000 in prizes! The aim is to raise much-needed cash for residents and rural communities who lost so much following Cyclone Gabrielle.
Organisers are encouraging all to come and support the ‘Day for the Bay’ this Saturday.
Also, there's plenty to do in Wairarapa this weekend.
Farmers Markets in Featherston, Carterton and Wairarapa have much to offer just wander around, soak up the rural vibe and take some treasures home with you.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
