🎃👻 Not the kind of Halloween scare we wanted… 👻🎃

Unfortunately, amidst all the spooky fun, someone’s gone and pulled a real trick — our friends car has been stolen. 🚗💔

Please keep an eye out and report any sightings or suspicious activity to the police. It’s a rotten thing to happen at any time, but especially when the community’s been full of good spirits and Halloween fun.

If you spot anything that might help, please reach out to Saty Endo — we’d be frightfully grateful. 🕵️‍♀️

Let’s hope the only things disappearing around here from now on are lollies and ghosts. 👻🍬

🎃 Halloween Tip! 🎃
Even if your house isn’t on the map, you can still let little ghosts and goblins know you’ve got treats! 🕸️
Just pop a balloon on your letterbox to show you’re open for trick-or-treaters! 🧡👻

🎃👻 Have you added your street to the Trick-or-Treat Map yet? https://forms.gle/Jt2BAMX4W5WoQU629 👻🎃
The map goes live next week — but in the meantime, there are already some spook-tacular haunts to check out, like the amazing 20 Fergus Street Fright in Kaiapoi! 🕸️

💀 Free entry as always, but this year they’re supporting Kitty Kingdom 😻 — any little donation is purr-fectly appreciated!

🕷️ Lights on nightly from 7pm–9pm, but the eerie fun is open to explore any time before that.
Plenty of buttons for kids to press — just be gentle, little ghouls 😉

🧙‍♀️ More haunted houses will be appearing soon... so keep your eyes peeled — if you dare!
If you’ve got a haunted house ready for viewing, get in touch to advertise your frightful display! 🎃👀

Want to keep up with all the latest happenings in North Canterbury? 🎉
The creator at Unplugged Herald has launched an awesome new app to keep you in the loop — local news, events, and community updates all in one place! 🙌

I’d love if we could spend less time on our phones, but I also know there’s a time and place for them. That’s why I’ve started a project I believe offers a healthier alternative to social media the Rangiora App https://rangiora.app

It shares curated local content, starting with a community calendar and relevant articles. Depending on feedback, more sections may be added.

Give it a try and let me know what you’d like to see next.

Find it by searching Rangiora in both Android and Apple stores.
