Farmers Santa Cave

Posted under General by Kimberly on Saturday 20 December 2008 at 2:01 pm UTC

santa-3 We decided to go have one last look at the Farmers Santa Cave, we are unsure if it will be setup when Farmers move premises. So it may be the last time we ever get to see it again.

Some of the displays still look like they need some tender loving care and work done to them. Though we were impressed that they have fixed a few of them already. The twirling cats and the monkey band, look like they have had some major work done to them.  So a big thumbs up to Farmers for the effort they put into maintaining the displays. It will be a shame if it goes for good.

Though I still don’t know about the merry go round, There were some kids getting off that, looking decidedly green around the gills :)

Surprisingly it wasn’t as busy as I’d thought it would be. We arrived at around 11:20am and I had thought we’d be queuing for a heck of a lot longer than we had to.

If you’re in Palmerston North, I’d highly recommend taking the kids down to see it. You may not get the chance again, once Farmers move to the new Plaza building.


Farmers Market a disappointment

Well, we headed over to Feilding to the Farmers Market to get some veges. It was a disappointment over all.

The prices were no better than what Super Markets are and the produce looked just as ho-hum. Has New Zealand lost the plot on what Markets are. Many years ago the Feilding Farmers Markets were large and the pricing very good. Along with the quality of produce on offer.

There were only a handful of stalls there. Oh well, back to the super market it is. Until our vege garden is producing that is :)
