Dunedin’s inaugural Together Across Time positive ageing expo proved a success as families flocked to Concord for a vibrant intergenerational celebration.
The community event, held at the Dunedin City Baptist Church centre last Thursday delivered a busy programme of entertainment, health checks and hands-on activities.
Jointly organised by Age Concern Otago and the Greater Green Island Community Network, the gathering featured about 50 stallholders, food trucks, vintage machinery displays and local performances.
The Star staff member Mark de Jong captured some of the buzz from the event.
