The Warratahs at Carterton Events Centre Sat 22nd July
One of Wairarapa’s all time favourite winter warmer gigs is back: The Warratahs.
For an incredible 37 years, this band has extensively toured New Zealand, along the way picking up Country Album of The Year at the Tui Music Awards in 2017, and releasing 7 charting studio albums.
Two new songs from Barry Saunders, namely ‘Goin’ Up North’ and ‘Silver Train’, will feature at the Carterton show, along with the many other songs of Barry’s that are permanent entries in the New Zealand Song Book.
The Warratahs are so much a part of the landscape, you might hear the odd cover but really, it’s the sound that The Warratahs have made their own and it’s become part of the NZ landscape. Poetic lyrics skidding along on an exciting blend of accordion, fiddle, drums, and guitar. Don't miss The Warratahs, Carterton Events Centre
this Saturday 22nd July 8pm Tickets available at:

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