Whanganui is to host an Olympic celebration with two of our Rio athletes back on home turf.
Saturday, October 1, will be the day to catch up with our sporting stars, with double Olympic medallist Rebecca Scown and fellow rower Chris Harris attending a range of activities.
Scown, 33, followed up her bronze medal at the London Olympics four years ago with a brilliant silver in Rio last month, partnering Genevieve Behrent in the coxless pair. She was also part of New Zealand's women's eight team that finished fourth.
Harris, 30, who also competed in London, made the men's double sculls semifinals in Rio with Robbie Manson.
Both Scown, a Union boat club member and former Collegiate student, and Harris, of the Aramoho-Wanganui club, have World Championship medals.
