Lunch at Deluxe Diner was a hit with the children.
Lunch at Deluxe Diner was a hit with the children.
Last Wednesday teachers across the country were on strike, meaning kids were off school. But the teams at Deluxe Diner and Event Cinemas New Plymouth came to the rescue.
Parents across the country had to take a day off work or come up with alternative arrangements while teachers went onstrike.
For some lucky Taranaki parents, The Hits Taranaki came to the rescue with the Hits Taranaki Babysitters promotion.
Emma Helleur, day announcer on The Hits Taranaki, says they ran a promotion for parents to win having The Hits Taranaki team as babysitters for the day.
"The winners were able to have their kids looked after by our team for the day, meaning they didn't have to hunt for childcare."
"In 24 hours we had just under 200 entries. It was great to be able to help a few parents out, making their life that little bit easier. We are really grateful to everyone who got involved with this promotion, especially the teams at Event Cinema and Deluxe Diner."
