Don't forget Christmas at the Beach with fireworks on Sunday!

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

Christmas at the Beach kicks off at 5pm on Sunday at Western Reserve in Orewa.

There'll be lots of live music, market stalls, food, rides, so lots of fun for the whole family, and of course SANTA!

Entrance is a $2 donation which goes to Koru Care NZ who make dreams come true by taking seriously ill or disabled children on the trip of a lifetime to the Gold Coast or California.

The line up of local and national entertainers includes Suzy Cato, Jorja Ella, Nick Jones, the Hibiscus Coast Community Band, Autamatic 80s and Filipianz. Miss Universe NZ and Miss North harbour will be there too and the night finishes with a fireworks spectacular from Boom Boom Fireworks.

This year there's also a big screen on the stage and the event will be live-streamed on Facebook.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
