Yvonne and her class groupies will have their Upcycled Furniture there and will run demonstrations on different things throughout the market - you may even be able to ask them for something specific if it is not too crazy!!!
The HITS radio station from Palmerston North will be there with giveaways and vouchers and market stalls with a large variety of quality items will be set up along the walkway. The Foxton and Beach Bowling Club members will be running a sausage Sizzle so you wont go hungry.
Come and join us at our first ever Cars Quilts and Cool Furniture day on Easter Sunday.
OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
