Featherston Booktown - tickets selling fast
It seems that every year, Featherston Booktown goes from strength to strength, and is surely making its mark along with its other international Booktown events in Europe, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
Booktown celebrates books, storytelling and ideas, and the artefact and craft of the book.
The word is getting out about this year’s rich line-up of events in our South Wairarapa town and already some events are sold out.
There’s so much to choose from – there's sure to be something to tempt you. How about a selection of horror stories told late at night, or learn how to write your family’s history, or even a session devoted to pets, our adored fur babies.
Kids can do some print and paper making, or turn a poem into prompt journal (8 years and older) with Emma Hinton. Carol Duffy has a free book reading where kids can make native bird stick puppets that are part of the story.
Tell your friends and make a date to head to a Booktown event and be educated, inspired and entertained.

What's one highway or road that needs attention?
We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.
If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.
Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
