Family Fete at Cobblestones!
Cobblestones is delighted to be running their annual fete once again. Join the team for a fun old-fashioned family day out to enjoy spring in the Wairarapa!
Saturday 8 October, 10.30am until 3pm
Country in style the fete will have old fashioned games, tug o'war, country crafts, afternoon teas, BBQ Sausages, scones, ice creams and more. Meet the lambs and watch the sheep being shorn the way early settlers did it with hand clippers. Get your new plants for the garden from Cobblestones gardeners, knock the coconuts off their stand at the coconut shy or ride the fire engine from the Town Hall. Plus so much more! Visit their Facebook page for more details:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
