Mangaweka Fakes & Forgeries Township - Festival of Events 2021
After many requests from the Districts Schools, we have finally decided on a date for the Mangaweka Village Fakes & Forgeries Festival of Events 2021! This will now be on Saturday 23 October (Covid permitting) Labour Weekend 2021.
There will be the 'Combined Schools Art Exhibition' in the Village Hall, a Massive Book-Fair in the Fire station, Markets in the Museum grounds, The under and over 16's exhibition at the 'Yellow Church' and a Town-wide 'series of 'Garage Sales' amongst other fun happenings on the day!
Last year the Garage Sale was a massive hit and for those wishing to run one again (or for the first time!) on the day, please contact Cath Ash via e-mail at; cr.cath.ash@gmail.com (there will also be market sites in the Museum grounds for 'out of towners' wishing to hold a stall).
The Book Fairs have also attracted large numbers (and sales!) and we are hoping for the same this year. Also, anyone wishing to donate books (no magazines thanks) all for a good cause (Mangaweka Heritage) can drop these off at the Yellow Church on any week-end preceding the event OR those who may wish to volunteer some help at the Book-Fair on the day please contact Alison at; adorrian@xtra.co.nz .
The under 16yrs and over 16's exhibition will be at the Yellow Church and full details can be found at www.richardaslett.co.nz... There is still plenty of time to get creating your Masterpiece to enter, (entries close Sun 17 October) so get to it... and have some fun along the way!
We look forward to seeing you all on the 23rd of October!!!
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
