Christmas music was heard throughout the village of Turua recently.
The small community pulled together for a celebration of the coming holiday season with its Turua Christmas in the domain.
The Turua Events Committee told The Profile Christmas music and live entertainment created a festive atmosphere with hay bales to rest on.
Many community groups set up stalls, including a “delicious range” of food on offer from a sausage sizzle, mussel fritters, hamburgers, to ice cream, skoffles and more.
“Previous fundraising enabled two bouncy castles to be there for younger children free of charge,” they said.
A complimentary water slide complete with bubbles was available for children thanks to the Turua Fire Brigade.
St John medic Julia was also on hand with CPR dolls for people to learn about resuscitating.
People were also able to head over to the therapy horses and say hello.
“From individuals [and] groups, such as the Turua Lawnmowahs, and businesses coming together – it was a night to remember.”
