The first weekend of the New Year has been a busy one in Hawke's Bay.

The New Year's Day races at the Hawke's Bay Racecourse in Hastings took place on Friday afternoon.

There was plenty of action on the track and games galore for children between the races - from lolly scrambles to tug-o-war.

Russell Park hosted Waipukurau's first Vintage Fair over the weekend, organised by Chelsea Derrick.

The fair had many collections on show and a variety of vintage wares were for sale, clothing, jewellery, china, collectables and upcycled wares.

Deakin Trucks Hawke's Bay Cup Regatta rowing competition also took place in Clive on Sunday.
