It's awesome having the team from Lumberland Building Supplies being a Gold Sponsor for the Hunterville Huntaway Festival on Saturday 1 November. This is a must attend event. 😎.

A big thank you to Lumberland Building Supplies for their incredible support as a Gold Sponsor for the 2025 Hunterville Shemozzle. Based in Palmerston North, Lumberland has been a huge part of this year’s preparations, lending not just sponsorship but also hands-on expertise to help us with a special construction project we can’t wait to share more about soon. The superstars behind this outstanding business, Simon and Fiona Cavanagh, bring true generosity, teamwork, and community spirit to everything they do. Their team combines skill, hard work, and a genuine commitment to helping others, always willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved. Lumberland has built a strong reputation for quality and reliability across the region, and their contribution to the Shemozzle reflects that same dedication. We’re so grateful to have their partnership and to work alongside a business that values local connections and supports community growth.
