Seasonal celebration full of family fun

11 April 2016

Hollard Gardens at Kaponga will be abuzz on Sunday (17 April) as its annual Country Fair marks the autumn harvest in traditional celebratory style.

As well as family fun, entertainment, food and produce and arts and crafts, there’ll be a chance for people to show off their vegie-growing prowess and win great prizes.

The fair will run from 10am to 3pm at Hollard Gardens, 1686 Upper Manaia Road, Kaponga. Attractions will include:

• Pony rides and face painting.

• Arts and craft stalls and demonstrations.

• Delicious food and produce.

• Live performances by the ukulele orchestra Taranaki Ukestra.

• The Taranaki Swiss Club’s Rainbow Stiltwalkers.

Bring your home-grown vegies to be in for prizes in the following categories (register by 11am on the Main Lawn):

• Biggest pumpkin.

• Cutest pumpkin.

• Most unusual fruit.

• Best bloom.

• Best vegie creation on a ‘garden’ theme.

The Country Fair is part of a year-round programme of free public events at Hollard Gardens, Pukeiti and Tupare, the three heritage properties owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region. For more information, see www.hollardgardens.nz, www.pukeiti.nz and www.tupare.nz.
