An open invitation
From Friday April 1 Raetihi will lose its Borough status due to our amalgamation with Ohakune Borough and Waimarino County. As we recognise the passing of an era in our town's history I extend an open invitation to the people of the Waimarino District and Waiouru to join with us
on 'Medieval Day' Saturday March 26. This day promises to be a boomer. Retailers will provide a Market Day atmosphere with stalls of Medieval Day specials. The Army is coming to town with soldiers marching in grand parade. With a bit of luck the
TV cameras will be here as well. A special mention to Iris Parr, who through her efforts has given us all a great opportunity to participate in a day that will not be forgotten as Raetihi's borough status goes out in style. It has been my privilege to have been Mayor of Raetihi these past four and a half years. As we amalgamate I would like to ; sincerely thank our present Borough Council and work staff, all previous mayors, councillors and people who over the years have made such a marvellous I contribution to our town. As we look to the future we can feel proud and satisfied with the facilities and the appearance of Raetihi and the progress that has been made over the sixty five years we I have enjoyed borough I status. I Thank you all again.
G.S.
