A women's lunch at the Hawke's Bay A&P Show
Because curiosity is where it starts.
Ever caught yourself wondering "what if?" Maybe it's a change you've been mulling over, or maybe you just love hearing how other people found their way. Wonder is a lunch for any woman with a curious mind.
On Thursday 22 October, four Hawke's Bay women are sharing the real story behind what they've built. Luci Firth took over Adashiko in 2013 and has grown it into a respected local collagen business. Mickey Trotter turned the family land into the agritourism destination Blackburn Ridge. Jen Mackie and Kate de Lautour created The Muster together, bringing people back around the table.
They'll talk honestly about the early days and the hard calls, and how they've juggled it all alongside family and everything else life throws at them. These are stories about backing yourself and working through the tough bits, and there's something in them for all of us, wherever you're at.
Bring your friends or book a table for your team and make a day of it at the Show.
