Hawke's Bay has many well-known features, but it also has some hidden gems that even locals don't know much about.
To launch our new compact Hawke's Bay Today, we are searching for those tiny bits of magic. They could be people who are quietly doing wonderful things, businesses or tourism ventures that are booming or even parts of our cities and province that are relatively undiscovered.
We have sent our reporters out searching for those positive stories you keep asking us to write about and we believe we have found some good ones.
Hawke's Bay Today wants to celebrate the successful things that are happening in our region and that is what this series is about.
Many of them are small tourist ventures that have just taken off. Hawke's Bay Tourism general manager Annie Dundas has told us of one "nice little nugget".
