Woodchopping, gumboot throwing and pony poo bingo are just a few of the rural attractions lined up for Kaipara Flats School’s annual Country Show Day, which takes place on Saturday, November 2 from 10am to 2.30pm.
For the uninitiated, pony poo bingo involves a putting a pony in a paddock that has been marked out as a numbered grid.
Patrons pick a number and the holder of the number of the square in which the pony ‘performs’ wins a prize. Meanwhile, other ponies will be available for rides and The Puhoi Axemen will put on a display of woodchopping.
There will be a speed shearing competition and school students will lead a parade of lambs and other young farm animals they have raised.
There will also be a range of stalls selling bric-a-brac, toys, books, plants and produce, plus a face painting stand and a range of raffles, quick-fire raffles and silent and live auctions.
