Rules aimed at preventing another outbreak of "mower rage"
will be in force for the annual lawnmower race at the 97th
annual Lake Hayes Agricultural and Pastoral Show on Saturday.
Sunny skies above Lake Hayes brought crowds of families and
"kids for Africa" out for the Wakatipu Community Church Fair
on Saturday, raising a mammoth $27,000 at the annual
fundraiser.
An Otago-wide initiative to bring back native kowhai trees
has taken root in the Wakatipu, as 35 volunteers mucked in at
the Lake Hayes walkway on Saturday morning, planting over 120
trees and shrubs.
Property owners looking to connect to the Lake Hayes water
and wastewater schemes, whose land is outside the original
zoning, will have to make do with restricted water supply.
