Plus, there’s all the excitement of the horse and tractor race and new this year, the Waka Ama Race and the roaring Thundercats race. Fashionistas young and old compete for the Fullers Fashion in the Field competition and the Uniformed Services challenge is extremely competitive. Support the day by bidding on the Silent Auction.
