Welcome to 2019 and another year of life in the beautiful Hunter Valley! Last year saw some major changes to your favourite (and only!) local magazine – not only did we undergo a name change to Your Hunter Valley Blackboard Magazine, but we also introduced a stunning new website, a weekly subscriber newsletter and of course, we added some pages. This growth has allowed us to delve deeper into some of the great local businesses and people of Hunter Valley Wine Country.
In this issue, we celebrate a handful of local identities and businesses that have made their mark on our region. People like Jason Pearson, who, after purchasing a run-down zoo 12 years ago has worked tirelessly to revamp, renovate and extend the facility. As Summer is now in full swing, there is no better time to start exploring the Hunter Valley, and we have jam-packed full of family-friendly activities to keep the kids occupied these school holidays – so look no further than this issue!
