About this event
Come along to this FREE event at Hakatere Marae, near Fairton. It's your chance to connect with others and find out about some great things available for your community.
We'll provide soup & bread and the Ashburton Lions Club will have the BBQ cranking for a free sausage sizzle - so you don't need to worry about dinner!
Just come on down to the marae after work and bring the kids if you have some - we'll have someone able to supervise them and some games and activities to keep them busy. The Ashburton Fire Brigade will be there with their fire truck so the kids (and adults!) might like to check that out too.
We have great spot prizes to be won, including beautiful creations from Harakeke Flowers, New World & Rural Co vouchers, Double pass to Regent Cinema, Ashburton Golf Course green fee vouchers & more!
You'll get an introduction to the following initiatives/ organisations and then there will be plenty of time to connect with any of them, find out more or just enjoy socialising with others at the event.
