Dan Brady of Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre makes short work of the Boomin’ Human challenge. A local family gets stuck into the Gunge Slinger. Silver Fern Michaela Sokoloch-Beatson aces the Big Balls game. Left, Ruth Osborne from Whangaparaoa School was a good sport, receiving the ‘gunge’ treatment from her students.
There was slimy gunge, water, foam and games galore as the children’s television show What Now came to Orewa.
A crowd of more than 100 piled in to watch the live show at Victor Eaves reserve on Sunday, March 4.
Highlights included the gunging of Whangaparaoa teacher Ruth Osborne, a Boomin’ Human game with the Youth Centre’s Dan Brady and local Silver Fern defender Michaela Sokolich-Beatson proving her worth as a shooter in the Big Balls game, where she played against Sam Reinen and Emma Donovan from Orewa Surf Lifesaving Club.
There were also impressive performances from local talent, including the Wicki Chix, singer Ben Glanfield and All Star Infinity cheerleaders.
What Now is based in Christchurch, but this year has taken the show on the road, visiting 40 towns in 40 weeks, of which Orewa was the fourth show.
