Ruapehu Snow Queen crown up for grabs in wearable art show

This year's Ruapehu Snow Queen will be named in Ohakune.

Wearable art will be centre stage in Ohakune on Saturday night for the seventh annual Ruapehu Snow Queen show.

Entrants have designed wearable art using the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, The Snow Queen, for inspiration. There are categories for open, green/recycled, princesses and pixies, and a people's choice section, with a $4000 prize pool up for grabs.

The show starts at 7pm on Saturday, September 2, at the Ohakune Tavern. Funds raised will go to Ruapehu College's CACTUS (combined adolescent challenge training unit support) programme.
