WAIPU MUSEUM AR'NTARTAN WEARABLE ART 2021

Sue from Langs Beach - Waipu

The Entry Form for the 2021 Art'nTartan Wearable Art Awards is now available.
This exciting event in the Northland calendar missed out last year because of Covid 19 but this year all systems are go.
The contest is to be held in October and to streamline the event there is to be one big OPEN SECTION for all artists with awards being given for certain aspects of their design - in other words anything goes! All designers need is some conspicuous use of tartan. There will, of course, also be the ever-popular Mask contest for children.
Closing date for Entries is July 26th and forms can be picked up at the Waipu Museum or downloaded from their website or the Art'nTartan Facebook page. Any queries can be addressed to artntartan@gmail.com.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
