Te Puke Ocktoberfest: Fun, food and fundraising on October 19

There will be all kinds of bargains at the Ocktoberfest at Te Puke Baptist Church.

October in Te Puke means it’s time for Ocktoberfest.

The annual day of fun at Te Puke Baptist Church is on October 19 and is a fundraiser for work with the community’s children and young adults.

Traditionally the day starts with music from the Highlands of Scotland.

Te Puke Volunteer Fire Brigade will have its vintage fire engine on display and there will be an ambulance from St John on display.

For the kids, there will be a bouncy castle, sawdust dig, hit the rat and mini golf and for the adults the white elephant stall and preloved clothes for sale, offering great bargains.

Entertainment will come from the Te Puke Dance Group, Te Puke Gymsports, music by In Transit and a puppet show.

To keep you fed there is a sausage sizzle, popcorn, pork and lamb-filled rolls, coffee and morning tea.

If your car needs a clean there will be a group ready to oblige and for petrolheads there will be monster cars with rides for a small charge.

The gala runs from 9am-1pm.
