Summer - what a wonderful warm feeling that word evokes. This is our biggest issue ever, a bumper 72 pages. My thanks go to the advertisers, writers, photographers and to the people who have supported the magazine over the last three years. That support has made the magazine possible. We’re gearing up for another ‘Eventful Summer’ here in the Wairarapa with lots of action-packed events. From wine and food festival, fairs, horse races and sheep shearing Summer is a great time in our region. The ‘Eventful Summer’ Guide highlights many of these events, so be sure to consult the calendar and enjoy yourself.
The Wairarapa Arts section features four artists, Gina Jones, Paul Melser, Sandra Wong and Paul Martison all working in different mediums and creating astonishing works of art.
Food glorious food! The Farmers Market is providing the locals with an abundance of Summer foods and Manager, John Hart tells us about what is available during the season. The Dining Guide contains a vast assortment of cuisine on offer and guaranteed to please every palette.
One of the great things about doing the magazine is meeting so many interesting people living in the Wairarapa. This issue we profi le Hotelier Jerry Crump, Archivist Gareth Winter, Photographer Peter Nikolaison, Publicans Warren and Sara Robinson and Photographer/Environmentalist David Hansford, a man who recently saw the light and moved ‘over the hill’.
I hope you enjoy this issue, there’s plenty to read, great photos and a wealth of information about ‘the most beautiful region’ in New Zealand.
Enjoy the Summer and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Cheers
Raewyn.
