Evan Dick loves Kaitangata and he wants to encourage others to come and experience what the small South Island town has to offer. Little did he realise his efforts would go global!
Dick had a chat to The Country's Jamie Mackay today about his new-found celebrity status and the blinding international spotlight that has focused on a place the locals call "Kai".
There are a lot of people in the country who aren't happy where they are. ..people just actually want to bring their families up in a good safe town and live the kiwi dream.
With a low unemployment rate and cheap housing, Dick believes that Kaitangata offers people a slice of kiwi heaven for a fraction of the cost.
There are jobs going in the dairy factories, freezing works and forestry industry for those who want them.
