PIONEER DAY

 


A CELEBRATION OF MANGAWHAI'S RICH HERITAGE

Saturday 27th September 2008

11am - 5pm
Mangawhai Tavern, Moir Street

Entry: $5pp or $15 Family Pass

 

The historic Mangawhai Tavern is adjacent to the old port where the ships were loaded with the kauri milled from the bush.  The tavern has a colourful history as a watering hole for the kauri bushmen and port workers, and each year it provides a stunning harbourside venue as we celebrate Mangawhai's rich heritage.

It's a great day of family entertainment with something for everyone. 

  • wood chopping competition - individual and teams
  • bullock team
  • pony rides
  • entertainment with Stilton Live Jazz Band

And for Mangawhai residents, a chance to particpate in an Historical Community Photo (3pm).  Gold coin donation with registration from 2pm, with proceeds to the new museum to be built in Thelma Road.  For more information on the photo shoot, please email Helen .
