We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).

Santa is coming to town - from the editor :)

Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

Christmas fever has certainly taken hold in Franklin.
I love this festive time of the year - yes, it’s out-of-control busy, but so exciting - especially for the younger members of the Kaio household.

Christmas fever has certainly taken hold in Franklin.
I love this festive time of the year - yes, it’s out-of-control busy, but so exciting - especially for the younger members of the Kaio household.
It’s all on this weekend in Pukekohe and Tuakau for the town’s annual Christmas parades. Santa sure is going to be busy Saturday and Sunday.
His first port of call is Tuakau on Saturday, with floats set to make their way down the main street at 3pm sharp.
Then Pukekohe gets to host the big jolly man in red on Sunday, with the parade kicking off at 2pm.
Both are shaping up to be great events, and the team at FCN will be at both. Look out for photos in Tuesday’s paper next week.
