On the morning of the 5th of October the older kids of Tomarata school started to set up their wonderful stalls. The crowds, calves and lambs marched into the school grounds. I even noticed some goats! The principal of Tomarata, Mrs Duffin, called everyone over to plant a special Kauri tree for Corey Ngakuru who passed away earlier in the year. Some of Corey's friends said some nice things about him and then a few of his close friends helped to plant the tree. The contestants with calves and lambs were getting ready to show off their skills. It was really nice to see the kids and their animals having fun. Congratulations to the kids who won ribbons. All in all, it was a fantastic day with smiles all round.
