Wild West Festival
The Wild West met the wild Far North in the South Hokianga town of Waimamaku on Saturday. The 12th annual Wild West Festival featured cowboys, horses, cheese-rolling contests, wearable arts, fire demonstrations, and a shoot-out in which the town’s bad guys tried to free a prisoner and put the judge in the stocks – all of it on SH12 while the road was still open. Highway robbers extracted tolls from passing motorists with the proceeds going to Hokianga Health and other worthy causes. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
