Balloon guessing

For those who visited the Mahurangi Matters stand at the Kowhai Festival Huge Day Out and entered the ‘guess how many balloons are in the car’ competition, the answer was 176.

No-one got it exactly right, but Carol Hawkins, of Warkworth, won the Plume restaurant voucher guessing the nearest with 175.

Winners of the Warkworth Butchery and Chocolate Brown vouchers were Steven May, of Kaipara Flats (178) and Dee Gray (174). The fundraiser for Paralympian Mitch Joynt raised $188.
