Exciting day out for the kids!
This weekend the military-themed Armistice in Cambridge event is on at Lake Karapiro. Tanks, battle re-enactments and a water-skiing aircraft!
Kids (of all ages) can try up to 20 interactive activities - archery, ride in a WW2 jeep, drive radio-controlled tanks, row a Navy cutter, shoot an Airsoft gun, fire a Roman catapult and make a plastic model for just $3. Most are free, some gold coin.
The event runs both Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th. Gates open 9:00am to 4:00pm. Adults $15, kids 12 and under just $5 (under 5’s free).
What do you think of this new cycleway?
People are being warned not to park on a newly built cycleway in west Hamilton if they don’t want to be fined.
Construction is underway on a revamped protected cycleway on Rifle Range Road to help link Dinsdale, Frankton to Maeroa and Forest Lake.
What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.

Traffic calming measures are delaying response times for fire crews and putting lives at risk, a group of frontline Hamilton firefighters say.
Last month Hamilton City Council slammed the brakes on a number of not-yet contracted roading projects that would have installed more raised platforms and in-lane bus stops across the city after a “tsunami” of push-back from the public.
