Palmerston residents are planning to celebratethe 150th anniversary of the town's establishment.
Things already planned include the 150th anniversary of the first communion service to be held at Palmerston-Dunback Presbyterian church in January and a history of the Shag River Fishing Club.
The 1913 Palmerston 50th anniversary street procession and sports afternoon may also be replicated.
Other suggestions include an essay competition, a hangi, a T-shirt to mark the 150th anniversary and events combined with Kelly's Canter race up Puketapu. Community groups are invited to a meeting on July 16 to discuss progress.
