Your weekend is a superheroSave your week, and take the time to do things that make you smile this weekend.

Take the time to do something you’d really love to do this weekend – we have a few suggestions for you.


Make this weekend your superhero. Saturday and Sunday are the days that can swoop in and save the rest of your week.


This Saturday is Super Saturday - your chance to help Central Otago make the 90 percent vaccination target.


Be part of the national ‘vaxathon’ that is Super Saturday. Help us reach the 90 percent vaccination target so we can enjoy freedom this summer.


Vaccine clinics for Saturday are listed below, and there’s a Super Saturday carnival to enjoy in Cromwell. The Cromwell Pharmacy and local businesses have put together some great family fun and there’s loads of amazing spot prizes to be won.


Spot prizes include a helicopter flight, a flight in a Cessna, a Highlands experience, and much, much more.


Load up the family, go for a drive, and help us all have fun this summer.


Just drop in to any of the vaccine clinics, and help Central get to 90 percent.
