Christmas lights spread the cheer

The Tremains Christmas Lights are in full swing. Many people went out under the cover of darkness to explore the homes, businesses, gardens, letterboxes and trees that have been transformed into dazzling Christmas wonderlands. Photographers Warren Buckland and Paul Taylor got into the Christmas spirit along with the crowds.

Spring Fling in CHB: The Ongaonga Bazaar

There were stalls, vintage car displays and good old-fashioned games on the Museum Reserve at last weekend's Ongaonga Bazaar - part of Central Hawke's Bay's Spring Fling events. Free access to the museum and Coles Factory was a big drawcard on the day, which included a pop-up art gallery, a British and European car display, live music and a funky train-ride for this children. All profits from the day will go towards the ongoing maintenance of the Ongaonga Museum and historic Coles Factory. The CHB Mail was there to capture the action.
