There was more than clothes for families offered by Pepi Pride at the Whangarei Youth Space on Saturday, there was aroha in abundance as sisters Latoya and Kasey Hood and friend Quinn Moffat held the first Baby Festival. The free event featured a sausage sizzle, family fun and helpful information on issues such as breast feeding and parenting tips for teen mums. Bags of clothes were dropped off by families, who stayed to help out, delivering clothes for children aged 1 to 5. Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along to capture the event.
