expo draws crowds<br />
WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS <strong>September</strong>/<strong>October</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

The Women’s Lifestyle Expo held at the<br />
ASB Baypark complex last month drew a<br />
large and enthusiastic crowd looking for<br />
inspiration fashion, beauty and well-being<br />
inspiration.<br />
More than 160 exhibitors<br />
took part, keeping<br />
the visitors satisfied<br />
and dry during a weekend<br />
of torrential rainfall.<br />
The expo featured everything<br />
from jewellery and<br />
health products to crafts, fitness<br />
and beauty products.<br />
There was food and wine<br />
sampling, business products,<br />
homewares, haircare, cosmetics<br />
and fashion.<br />
Life, passion and bravery<br />
certainly shone through<br />
during the four night extravaganza<br />
of Zoetica Tarnished<br />
Frocks and Divas (pictured<br />
right), which would not have<br />
been out of place on a Broadway<br />
stage.<br />
Two years of planning and<br />
rehearsing certainly shone<br />
through at this polished and<br />
brilliantly entertaining production.<br />
This year’s Anchor AIMS<br />
Games kicked off in <strong>September</strong><br />

of the multi sports events being<br />
hosted at Bay Venues locations<br />
throughout Tauranga.<br />
