Wow, what an impressive event this year. All our whānau from Hokonui who went along had a great time. We could tell that a great deal of detail and planning had gone into putting the event together for whānau. What an awesome job done by all those responsible.

Once again whānau, Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year. See you all next year.
