Millennium Handprints to be removed - collect yours

The Team from Whangarei District Council

What did you do to celebrate the dawning of a new Millennium, the year 2000? 🤖👾 On December 31st 1999 did you and your family gather at the Town Basin and push your hands in to the wet cement as you dreamed of the distant future? 🚀

Whether 2020 is what you imagined or not, we've decided to retire these hand-prints as part of the new Town Basin Playground upgrade. If you or your family are featured here and you would like to keep your square of cement for the inhabitants of Earth to admire in the year 3000 (👽? 🐛?) please get in touch with our contact-centre before Wednesday 22 July and we can arrange collection.
