There are loads to see and do including Resene Live-Action Murals.

My daughter and Moko are moving over to the lovely Wairarapa she has been given the opportunity to live just out the back of Featherston in a farm house.
The down fall is its all wooden floors does anyone have any good quality floor rugs they would like to part with/sell at a very reasonable price.
She is also in need of a queen size bed and a single bed as well as draws for clothing all the old ones she has are old and broken.
If anyone can help or has any ideas where we could get support from to get these things second hand good quality and at a fair price it would be very much appreciated.
Lastly has anyone got any boxes they want to get rid of for packing.
regards
Lana

Is it possible to again have within the town Rata and Rimu, Kaka and Kereru, the green Gecko or whatever?
Come, hear and discuss how it could happen with the Mayor and PROFESSOR BRUCE CLARKSON, a leading expert in the Government's National Science Challenge looking to the future of our towns and cities (Many will remember his great talk here a year or more back). He will tell us about ambitious pilots elsewhere in the country.
On Sunday August 18th at the Copthorne from 1-4pm.
Admission free.
New Zealand is one of the happiest countries in the world, but how do you even define happiness?
There's a growing body of research on happiness showing the things that make us happier, and things that detract from our happiness. Read more from our "Good Life Guide" here.

The Wairarapa Positive Ageing Strategy launch event was attended by Hon Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin, Wairarapa mayors, councillors, council staff and contributors to the Strategy from the Wairarapa community.
The Strategy was developed by the three Wairarapa councils to prepare for the region’s rapidly ageing community. The aim of the Strategy is to help them achieve positive outcomes through leading valued, connected and fulfilling lives.
In the next 25 years, the number of Wairarapa residents aged over 65 is expected to increase by about 79% to nearly 15,000, or 1 in 4 residents. It is the hope that the Strategy will enhance the lives and experiences of older people in the community. The new Strategy features six strategic goals, which were identified through extensive local research and consultation. These goals, which will be areas of council focus over the medium to long-term are: community support and health services, communication and engagement, transport, cultural diversity, housing, and places, spaces and activities.
Your help can provide free services to those who need us, now and in the future.
A gift in your Will is a simple way of supporting the Cancer Society Wellington.
We will contribute $250 (plus GST) towards the legal cost .
