Wairarapa DJ to feature at this weekend's 121 Festival

Former St Matthew's Collegiate School for Girls Head Prefect,
Alice Cresswell, is being interviewed by Brent Gare on Masterton’s MORE FM tomorrow morning at 8.35am.

Al’s now an up and coming live performer with DJ skills and electronic music production experience. This weekend she’ll live on stage at the 121 Music Festival at Tauherenikau Racecourse.

Al started DJing in her bedroom more than 10 years ago and did her first public gig in 2019.

Since then she’s been DJing regularly around New Zealand, including festivals like Rhythm & Vines, Rhythm & Alps, Twisted Frequency, Taniwha's Den (local) and, of course, the 121 Festival.

Hear her live interview with Brent tomorrow and remember, Wairarapa locals enjoy an extra special ticket price for the Festival for Saturday, 11 March. The special local ticket price is $99 (usually $139), and is available at both the Masterton and Martinborough i-SITE Visitor Information Centres.

⚠️ 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 ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
