Waikanae SPRING MARKET
There will be over 100 stalls at the WAIKANAE SPRING MARKET (on Sat 24 Oct between 9am-2pm at the Town Centre), selling a multitude of goodies such as clothes, books, art, soaps/candles, beauty/skincare products, plants, crystals, crocheted/knitted/sewn items, jewellery, upcycled homeware, quilts, food and much more.
There will also be something for the kids with stalls selling children's amusements and novelties, face painting, children's books, clothes, and crocheted animals/dolls/fruit/veg. For those small people who love all things on wheels, we are hoping to have a fire engine, although this is still to be confirmed. And don't forget there is a lovely little playground in Mahara Place.
Dean Ward will be entertaining the crowds as he has done many times before, and there will be a guest appearance by Kapiti Kidz Vocals at 11.30.
Most of the local businesses will be open which includes cafes, take aways, and the local butcher who will be cooking up a storm with his ever popular spit roast.
It'll be a blast so come along and check us out!!

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
