Would you want a "super-duper, mega" fireworks display for Hamilton?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hamilton was spoilt for fireworks choice over the weekend, with the Gallagher display on Friday and another at the closing of the Hamilton Garden Arts Festival on Sunday.
But - after Friday's display was said to have disrupted an earlier arts festival performance - the two groups are talking about working together.
"We wouldn't want to stop anyone from having a fireworks display because people love them," festival co-director Bronwyn Bent said, "but obviously we'd love to work together and make a fantastic, super-duper, mega fireworks display."
Sir William Gallagher said in a statement that he was keen to work with the festival organisers.

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
