Merian Graham drives Mylor Brain, 5, and Neave Blainey, 4, on the mini cars at the Waipū Easter Carnival on Saturday.

The weather played its part for the annual

Waipū Easter Carnival with hundreds flocking to the town for some fun in the sun on Saturday.

There were kids of all ages enjoying the huge range of rides, carnival games and the country feel of the day, which was held at Caledonian Park, and organised by

Waipū Primary School.

Northern Advocate photographer Michael Cunningham went along to capture the action.
