A new exhibition will open at the CHB Museum in Waipawa tomorrow.
Mayor Alex Walker will join the Museum Committee for a community celebration and the launch of the “Ghosts of the Past” exhibition.
The exhibition will feature photos from Jeremy Bright of the old Waipukurau Hospital, with visitors also having the chance to view the 1949 Humber Pullman Ambulance which served Central Hawke’s Bay for many years.
The old ambulance has been restored and delivered to the museum in time for the exhibition.
The opening ceremony will begin at 1pm.
