Come along on Thursday to one of the two sessions of family fun! It's designed mainly for primary school aged children, with plenty of fun for preschoolers also. Throw soft toys in the bucket, race hotwheels, pop balloons with darts and throw wet sponges at the superhero. Have a bite to eat, but leave time to redeem your reward tickets for a prize before the disco starts. Call into the church office for a colouring sheet beforehand if your child would like to enter that competition, and there's also prizes for costumes (nothing scary though, thanks!) More info on the flier.
Hi there,
Love the show, but here is a situation that I think is a bit rough. Two older teens left the show on Friday at 1 pm (they had something they wanted to do and it was planned), they returned at 3:30 pm. They had their stamp on their hand to let them back in.

Love the show, but here is a situation that I think is a bit rough. Two older teens left the show on Friday at 1 pm (they had something they wanted to do and it was planned), they returned at 3:30 pm. They had their stamp on their hand to let them back in. They also had nearly $60 worth of tickets to use on rides as the lines had been so long in the morning, they had only used their tickets for one ride. $60 was the cheapest amount of tickets you can buy (or that was their understanding). The Show advertised that it finished at 5 pm on Friday.
But when they tried to re-enter the grounds at 3:30 pm, and I was with them as I was driving them - the security man on the road outside said, "No Entry". When I asked why, he said, "No, they are moving everyone out now and no-one is allowed back in." I explained they had been given a 'pass out' and they had tickets for the rides which they had paid for. He was insistent that 'they' were directing people to leave now and were closing things down.
I thought this wasn't right and so explained that if that was the case, we would go in and get a refund on the tickets for the rides. At this point, I wasn't asking, I was quite firm with my intentions - polite but firm.
So, he allowed us to enter the grounds.
My next dilemma was that I hadn't paid to get in at all. And the ticket booth had clearly closed down. I never intended to go in, but thought I should go in to see what was going on.
To my surprise and delight, the rides were all still going and although lots of people were heading out, no-one was being encouraged out. Stalls were still up and going and it seemed to me it was business as usual.
I can't see why the man on the road would have told us they couldn't go back inside, and I can't see why he thought it was all over at 3:30 pm.
What concerns me is if I hadn't been with the kids, they would have probably just accepted what he said and turned around to come on home. And how many others got turned away who could have gone in and spent money on items from stallholders who were paying to be there till 5 pm and hoping for more sales.
I can understand them saying, no more tickets being sold after a certain time, but 3:30 seems a little early and if they are giving people pass out stamps to come back in, they need to explain that they can only come back before a certain time if that is indeed the case.
Anyway, no harm done really - but I don't think it was right to turn the kids away in the first place. And I am feeling uneasy that I got in without paying - but if I hadn't felt I needed to escort them in, that would never have been the case. And once I saw they could use their tickets, I decided I may as well stay as what was the point of going home only to have to come back and get them - so I wandered around and enjoyed seeing some pretty cool local people with their stands and products.
Don't beat me for staying once I was in! I am aware of the moral dilemma there.

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.

Hey neighbours,
Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.

Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.
Do you celebrate Halloween at your house? Why or why not?
And If you don't like trick or treating, how do you make it clear your house is a no-go zone?
We're keen to talk to some people who feel strongly about Halloween one way or the other. If you have thoughts to share, please email homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.
Great to see Neighbourhood Support members in Hamilton, Ashburton and Rodney this month helping neighbours get better connected, supported and prepared.
From our whare to yours, wishing everyone a safe and fun Labour Day weekend ahead!

I thought I’d write a post for people like me who want the clothes but whose budget is restricted. Just lately, I’ve had some great finds in the many op shops we are lucky to have here. I have made an outfit of a tea dress, clutch bag and a summer hat for a mere $16. This outfit is suitable for daywear and especially the Gatsby Picnic.
This post is just my opinion so do also look at the books in the library or google for inspiration. You may also like to visit Charleston Chic (Masonic Building on Tennyson Street) and Decorum (Herschell Street, across the road from the library. Both shops have layby.
Do not be put off by 1930s fashion images, not many of us could look like this. Waists are normally around the middle of the body, not one third of the way down as in the images. Women were shorter than now too. I find the 1930s look easier to assemble and is far more flattering to most than the dropped waist 1920s look. You may even find that you have a lot of things in your wardrobe and drawers already. Start with a dress. Most colours were fashionable except black or pink. The hemline should be closer to your ankles than your knees. Necklines were round, square and v, with and without collars. Only evening dresses were sleeveless. Belts were usually worn.
My next post will be about accessories.
