Community Hub pulls magic out of hat

A magic, and free school holiday event “for kids and their adult” will be held at the Whangaparaoa Community Hub on Wednesday July 11.

It includes performances from award winning magician Andy Wonder and his delightful assistant, Twinkie the rabbit. There will also be free face painting, nail art, crafts, puppet story telling from Relax Kids and a toddler soft play zone by Party Kingdom. Many local businesses have provided giveaways and there’s a free sausage sizzle.

The event is a collaboration between a number of organisations that help support and connect families, including the Future Whangaparaoa Trust and Steps Forward Family Services.

The hub’s community activator, Sara Mason, says there are a lot of financial pressures on families, so the idea was to provide some free fun for kids, especially things that can be done even if the weather is wet.

The event is on July 11, 10am-1pm. There will be two 30-minute performances by the magician, at 10.30am and 11.30am.
