Waikouaiti

The East Otago On-course Food Fest staged on the Waikouaiti racecourse on Saturday provided some tasty delights for the crowd of about 2000.

It was a fun-filled family day at the Waikouaiti Rodeo yesterday, with plenty of cowboy hats, spurs and belt buckles on display.

Waikouaiti is in the pink.

The coastal township looked like it was preparing to host a blossom festival yesterday. The community has turned on the style for Sunday's Waikouaiti Rodeo and the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation ''Tough Enough To Wear Pink'' campaign.

Waikouaiti residents fear a proposal by the Dunedin City Council to fell a pine plantation next to the town's beach will leave them vulnerable to coastal erosion and being battered by wind and sand.
