Hutt Winter Festival this Saturday!
Get ready to get creative at the funkiest little arts festival in the Hutt, from 15-17 August.
There are loads to see and do including Resene Live-Action Murals.
Watch paintings come to life as professional artists create full-size murals in pop-up locations around Lower Hutt. Want to give it a try? There will be free instruction and everyone is welcome to contribute to the murals. You can arrive at any time during the sessions, but be warned, you’ll be so engrossed and having fun that you should plan to stay for the whole time!

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!
