Tyler from Urban in East will be defending his Great Goblet Race Crown in Howick Village at 12pm on Saturday, March 1.
It’s always a highlight so come along and watch members of local hospitality businesses race through the Picton Street crowd at the Howick Village Cultural Food Festival.
East Health Trust, in conjunction with the Heart Foundation and Unichem, will be offering free heart and diabetes checks, and immunisations, in the Howick War Memorial Building during the market this Saturday, February 15.
Just turn up, they’d love to see you from 8am-12.30pm.
Don’t forget The Good Home is holding its annual SPCA fundraiser on Sunday, February 16, from 2pm-5pm.

There will be pet photo shoots, giveaways, spot prizes, raffles and every dog gets to take home their own goodie bag!
