The weekly Whanganui River Markets has been cancelled for Saturday, March 6. Market convener Annette Main said the cancellation has the best interests of the community in mind. We believe this is the right thing to do. We have been very busy over the last few weekends, with many more visitors to the markets from out of town than were around when we were previously in level 2.

When Murray and Beth Holden visited a Feilding garden they were intrigued to see an unusual dahlia growing.
The owner of the garden was former Dannevirke resident Erin Gould, who revealed that the dahlia was actually known as the Dannevirke dahlia.
As the vice-president of the Dannevirke Gallery of History, Holden was interested in researching the background to the Dannevirke dahlia.
In hunting through Gallery of History records, Holden discovered that in 1950 the then Dannevirke mayor Edward Gibbard made an appeal through the Evening News for suggestions for a suitable flower or shrub to be adopted as a floral symbol for the borough.
