Donkey Christmas celebration


The annual fun day at Highfield Reserve, Algies Bay, is back. It will be held this year on Saturday, December 3 with lots to do for the whole family.

The programme includes donkey rides, old fashioned games and a free barbecue.

The organisers are also expecting a visit from a big guy in a red suit.

There are seven donkeys currently at the reserve. Chair Jane Kelsey says the committee would like to have more involvement from young people and is looking at ways to achieve this next year.

The reserve is at 483 Mahurangi East Road and the fun day starts at 11am.
