Plenty of smiles at Story Time

Hundreds of people showed up to the grand opening of children’s shop Storytime’s new premises in Porowini Ave on Saturday. ‘‘It was amazing, we had such a good turnout — so many kids were doing activities,’’ said store manager Alicia Languasco. The business, which has been in Whangarei for 30 years, moved from the Strand Arcade. ‘‘It’s a nice, new fresh start in a vibrant part of the city,’’she said. Northern Advocate photographer Michael Cunningham was there.
