Topp act for Totara festival

The Topp Twins will be special guests at Totara Estate's annual Harvest Home festival on March 28.

As well as appearing on stage, the twins will participate in activities attached to the event's theme - A Garden Harvest.

The Totara lamburger competition will be judged by their alter-egos, Ken and Ken, while the produce section will be judged by Prue and Dilly and the scones and jam by Camp Mother and Camp Leader.

Preparations are being made for visitors to embark on a train ride from Dunedin to the Totara rail siding, following in reverse the route taken by New Zealand's first export shipment of meat in 1882.
