Turakina is again preparing for its biggest day with the Highland Games on January 30.
The Turakina Domain will be transformed into a Scotland of the south with Highland dancing, piping, field events and the hill race.
The Turakina Caledonian Society's Debbie Benton said the preparations were well under way.
"Things are coming together as they do. We're into the last couple of weeks of things."
Entries for the various events were steady and the 14 pipe bands at this year's event was up on last year.
