Summer will be given its last hurrah at Orewa this Saturday, March 31.
A summer family picnic day at the Orewa Reserve, near the Orewa Surf Club carpark, will include beach cricket, volleyball, a treasure hunt, pirate dress-up competition, entertainment and a lollie scramble.
The major sponsor is Smith & Sons. Hibiscus Coast franchise owner John Jensen says the idea is to create a local event that brings the community together.
“We hope locals will come along and join in, support the food vendors on site, and enjoy themselves,” he says. “Summer is a great time on the Coast and Orewa is the perfect place to celebrate it.”
The day will run from 10am to 3.30pm.
