A touch of France to Central Hawke's Bay! One of our long-time members of AFHB, TeAra, is the brainchild behind this bimonthly community event. So why not join us... once every two months in Waipawa for this suggested $10 koha/donation event to liven up your Friday nights? Any profits from koha will go towards The Food Basket CHB. |
