Record-breaking crowds had outstanding fun at the Omokoroa No 1 School mower race day and gala event.
Race co-ordinator Liz Wilde, who helped organise the event with Ange Batt and a huge group of helpers, said it had been an "absolutely amazing" day yesterday.
"There are record crowds - I couldn't even begin to say how many thousands are here," Ms Wilde said during a break in yesterday's fun.
"The car park is jam-packed, there's helicopters going up every few minutes. There are medieval knights fighting with kids. The bagpipers have turned up and there's so much yummy food."
Ms Wilde said the community spirit was amazing. There were huge numbers of volunteers helping on the day and local businesses had got behind the event.
