Country Fair and car boot sale back at Whangateau

Fun and games for all the family will be on offer at Whangateau during Auckland Anniversary weekend, when the village’s annual Country Fair is held on Sunday January 31, from 10am to 2pm.

There will be bouncy castles, games and races for the kids, plenty of local produce and quick fire raffles, including Leigh fish, homemade cakes and mussel fritters, Puhoi cheeses and lots of fruit and veggies.

Stalls will include the traditional bumper book sale inside Whangateau Hall and entertainment will be provided by local bluegrass favourites The Pipi Pickers. A car boot sale is also being run as part of the fair and sites can be booked for $15 via fair organiser and hall committee member, Lynette Penney, on 422 6057.

Funds raised from the event go towards improving facilities and equipment at the historic Whangateau Hall, which is a popular venue for meetings, events and concerts, and is home to the Whangateau Folk Club. Lynette says proceeds from this year’s fair will help extend and improve the hall’s picket fence, and the purchase of new blinds or curtains.
