The Maungaraki Fair has a new name: Maungaraki Grooves. It will be a celebration of local arts, music and food, with an emphasis on family, fun and the community.

Put the date in your diary now: Saturday 10 March, 10am - 2pm. The soundstage will feature performances from Fairy Trina for the littlies, rock classics from The Outlaws, and Irish tunes from The O'Connors. Old McDonald's Petting Farm will bring a troup of loveable animals, and visitors will be able to get up close and personal with an assortment of big diggers. Plus there'll be a wide range of stalls offering crafts, food and much more. Watch this space!
