Waikanae SPRING MARKET

Jane from Waikanae Beach

There will be over 100 stalls at the WAIKANAE SPRING MARKET (on Sat 24 Oct between 9am-2pm at the Town Centre), selling a multitude of goodies such as clothes, books, art, soaps/candles, beauty/skincare products, plants, crystals, crocheted/knitted/sewn items, jewellery, upcycled homeware, quilts, food and much more.
There will also be something for the kids with stalls selling children's amusements and novelties, face painting, children's books, clothes, and crocheted animals/dolls/fruit/veg. For those small people who love all things on wheels, we are hoping to have a fire engine, although this is still to be confirmed. And don't forget there is a lovely little playground in Mahara Place.
Dean Ward will be entertaining the crowds as he has done many times before, and there will be a guest appearance by Kapiti Kidz Vocals at 11.30.
Most of the local businesses will be open which includes cafes, take aways, and the local butcher who will be cooking up a storm with his ever popular spit roast.
It'll be a blast so come along and check us out!!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
