Love Local Expo back in June
Mark your calendars for 10 June, as the popular Love Local Expo is back!. Now in its fourth year, the expo at Te Rauparaha Arena showcasing the best of our local products, services, crafts and community services, has become a not-to-be missed event.
Entry to the expo is free, and stallholders get their exhibition spaces for free. Visitors to the expo will once again have a chance to win a year’s supply (that’s 52 blocks) of Whittaker’s chocolate by voting for their favourite Love Local booth.
Love Local Expo: free entry, Saturday 10 June, 10-4pm at Te Rauparaha Arena. For more information, visit poriruacity.govt.nz/lovelocalexpo
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
