Two new events and six others have secured the final funding from Waipā's District Promotion and Community Event funds this week.
The brand-new Te Awamutu Skatepark BurgerFuel event ($500) aims to inspire youth to get involved in the revival of skateboarding at the newly refurbished Centennial Park.
The Cambridge Christmas window display and Santa’s workshop ($600) is a scavenger hunt event for tamariki to find Santa’s workshop items hidden in retailer storefronts.
Deputy Mayor Liz Stolwyk said it’s exciting to see some new events coming to the district.
“We know Waipā is a great place to host events and it’s energising to see an increase in these events coming through the funding process. It was great to be able to provide funding to all those who applied.”
