DINE OUT
Our region, your time
With restrictions easing on both sides of the Border this weekend, make the most of your new found freedom and get out for some delicious food and drink. If you can, it's time to support our local cafes, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and wineries who've been doing it tough through lockdown. There's plenty to choose from! But, be sure to book ahead, with density limits and everyone vying for a seat at their favourite venue, you don't want to miss out.
CHILL OUT
Our region, your time
No doubt there'll be plenty of Border residents who'll jump back into socialising full throttle this weekend, but if you're looking for a more low key way to celebrate eased restrictions, perhaps you could organise a picnic with friends, take a book and sit outside in the sunshine or just relax outdoors without having to be mindful of exercising or only leaving home for an essential purpose. Take a moment for yourself to stop, breathe and gently ease yourself into the latest rules. Maybe some meditation? Tune into yourself, what is it you really need this weekend after the last few weeks of lockdown?
SHOP OUT
Saturday, September 11, and Sunday, September, 12
With Spring well underway and warmer weather rapidly approaching, it's a great time to tuck your woolies into the back of the cupboard and shrug off your cardigan! Ignore the Stark family; forget Winter, Summer is coming. And with retail businesses open again this weekend, what better opportunity is there to refresh your wardrobe with some summer essentials. Be a good Sam and try to support the Border's small and family owned businesses to stimulate our local economy and help keep them running through a tricky time.
LUXE OUT
Our region, your time
The first thought on many minds this weekend is surely, 'I can finally get my haircut!'. But no need to stop there - take the opportunity to 'treat yo'self' at one of the Border's many nail salons or beauty services. Tint your lashes, wax your legs, get that fake tan! Return the favour to those that make you feel good: make them feel good, too.
GYM OUT
Our region, your time
No more running around the oval or using milk cartons as weights in your garage or backyard this weekend! At last, you can use an actual treadmill, lift some proper dumbbells and maybe even attend a socially distanced class! So get out, get active and let your body feel good. Target some muscles, but even more target support to a locally owned gym.
DRIVE OUT
Mustang Cruise Sunday, September 12, from 10.30am
Not everything that was supposed to run this weekend has been postponed or cancelled...The Albury Mustang Social group will hold their Mustang Cruise on Sunday September 12. They'll meet in Albury, before cruising to Holbrook, then through Morven, Culcairn, Walla, and Jindera. Get a position on the road early to check them out.
