Mary May!!

Meet Mary May.
I'd have to say she is one of the loveliest. Mary grew up in the Cardrona Valley at Spotts Creek, and as a young girl milked the cows and made home made butter the old school way.
She further moved all the way to the Gibbston Valley.
I talked to her about the development in both places, and Mary is all for progress!
Having come from rural stock, I do love a good rural girl story!

She will be in the Otago Daily Times some time over the weekend and the Wānaka Sun next week.

We’re so excited to share that we have an Olympian grandson at the Village! Lyon Farrell, competing at the Winter Olympics, has shared a special message for Bob and Sue - what a lovely guy!

After his event yesterday, Lyon gave a special shout-out to his supporters here at the village. The Cinema was full of proud surrogate grandparents cheering him on from home. We’ll be following along and wishing Lyon all the very best!
Go Lyon!
