Free Hot Cross Buns Mark Howick Appreciation Day
An Auckland businessman is giving away hundreds of hot cross buns tomorrow to celebrate Howick Appreciation Day.
Bakers Delight owner Arjun Tawar said he was inspired by the resilience and community spirit shown by the Howick community during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
So he will be dishing out the tasty morsels at his bakery from 7am to 6 pm.
Up for grabs will be chocolate chip, apple and cinnamon, mocha, fruitless and traditional buns.
Tawar said many people were foiled from sampling the delights last Easter so he opted to treat the town.
An owner since 2018, Tawar said a community that worked together would always prosper more.
"I have truly witnessed this over the past year as community members have come together to support us and other local businesses through such an uncertain time for all, " he said.
Due to their support we were able to continue trading throughout the height of the pandemic by
offering pick up orders, and recover well as we have returned to our new Covid normal."
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
