North Canterbury is set to host its first National Rose Show this weekend

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The New Zealand Rose Society has been holding national shows for more than 50 years, but this year marks the first time it will be held in this region.

Show conveners Michael and Marion Brown, from Loburn, said this year's show, with the theme of Rose Magic, will be held at the Woodend Community Centre on November 23 to 25.

"There will be something for everyone; it will be an event that smells lovely and looks lovely," the organisers say.

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
