Vaka Puaikura Concert 20158 Aug 2015 Our first market session for 2015 and a chance for us to catch up with our Arorangi / Puaikura boothers. We took some dazzling strips and pix, added to family portrait collections, chatted to honorary locals and sampled a banoffee cup cake. Plus, Ms. Luna got a costume!.
A big meitaki to our booth-operator-in-training Rosaline, who made sure that Mauke got their booth on.

Vaka Puaikura Concert 20147 Aug 2014 It was a last-minute dash for us to make the Vaka Puaikura Concert this year - fortunately aunty and Jaz were on hand to take Aroko to the show. As usual some stunning shots were taken ‘out west’, with families updating their portraits, new pepes, young love, cousins chillin’, and performers hitting the booth direct from the stage. Only a few food stalls, but we can recommend the chicken curry and kebabs :).

Hula Mania 6, 20 Dec 201320 Dec 2013 Hula Mania was in town was in the 80s, so there was much curiosity about the event - a Cook Islands duo dance competition and cabaret evening. We popped into the Aro'a Nui before the booth session, and the Nesian Mana team had done an awesome job with the staging – working mainly with organic materials. As it was the week before Christmas, we brought our Xmas props along which provided much entertainment for the ushers.

Vaka Puaikura Concert, 9 Aug 20139 Aug 2013 The Vaka Puaikura Concert was a bit earlier this year – bringing together some of the best performances from Te Maeva Nui. We spent the evening strategically moving our ei and ei katu from one side of our marquee to the other, as the wind was blowing the rain in from all sides. There were some awesome performances on the big stage, and equally inventive poses in the booth. A big meitaki much to the Mataroa kopu tangata for updating their family album with some fresh pix.
