Winery Tour Giveaway
Some of New Zealand's great voices will sing together on a reformatted Winery Tour. The Winery Tour has become something of a Kiwi summer institution; it's now in its 11th year.
This year promoters Brent Eccles and Campbell Smith have shaken up the tour's format. "We are so thrilled to be able to present such an impressive array of Kiwi talent in one show," Eccles said.
The shows will retain their traditional three-set structure. Country songstress Tami Neilson and her Hot Rockin' Band of Rhythm will open the show, followed by Annie Crummer, Che Fu, Jason Kerrison (Opshop), Betty-Anne Monga (Ardijah) and Hollie Smith, who will share a band while performing their own greatest hits.
For the final act, the singers will join together to perform the headline set: Songbook: Together in Concert.
On January 27, the tour will visit the Ascension Wine Estate in Matakana. Tickets will be available to buy from next week, but the Rodney Times has a double pass to give away to one lucky reader. Simply 'like' or 'thank' this post. A winner will be chosen at random and notified via the Neighbourly page on October 16 at 10am.
The Winery Tour 2018 will take in 10 locations around New Zealand from January 19 to February 10. Tickets are available from the Winery Tour website.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
