Bouncy castles, ponies and a big blue tractor – a children's dream which drew Whangārei families to Barge Park on Saturday.
About 1000 people attended the Pink Ribbon Gala, a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Foundation, declared a success by the organiser and owner of Flourish Maternity, Alisha Harper.
It
was the second event Harper organised in support of the charity after her mother underwent breast cancer treatment 18 months ago.
This year's gala, however, was a step up from the mum's day out last year after Harper's best friend, Anna Barge from Forever Memories Photography , came on board.
The pair pulled together a fun event for young families with various stalls, delicious treats, face paint and actions for the kids.
