Saving a heritage town – the Reefton Revival story
Reefton revivalist Paul Thomas has a 30year tale of a community banding together to breathe fresh life into the historic inland town, famous for its gold rush, electricity and Tohu Whenua heritage. The now vibrant and bustling town, with many similarities to our local gem Te Aroha, is a tribute to some fiercely loyal locals who worked together to transform Reefton into a popular tourist destination, attractive to entrepreneurial investors and new residents seeking a lifestyle change. Grab a cuppa and come along to hear Paul’s inspiring message of shared local vision producing inspiring results.
Monday 11 March, 7.30pm - Silver Fern Farms Event Centre, 44 Stanley Avenue, Te Aroha.
