The Darfield Community Fun Day, held on Waitangi Day (February 6th), attracted an impressive number of attendees. The event, organised by the Two Rivers Community Trust and with funding support from SDC and Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust, was a wonderful way to kick start the long weekend. Numerous stalls provided everything from homemade treats, through to fairy wings and pirate things. Compere and member of the or g an i s i ng gr o up, S a m Broughton was delighted with how the day went, even the weather came to the party with a sunny and warm day, despite the forecast predicting otherwise. Entertainment began
with Manaia Davies singing a spine tingling rendition of the national anthem, reminding all in attendance of the importance of togetherness on this Community day. This was followed by further performances from Manaia, showcasing the progression of hip hop from the 80’s through to today, via song and dance. The little ones had much to keep them occupied with 6,000 Lego blocks to play with, bouncy castles and classic games such as, three-legged and sack races. Crazy bikes from Pedalmania were a huge hit with both children and adults alike. Suitable for all ages, much fun was had on these strange pedal-powered contraptions.

Darfield Preschool and Nursery won the Scarecrow competition with their amazing replicas of Spiderman and Anna from Frozen, a well deserved win for the staff and children. After the games had finished and when the children could eat
no more, it was entertainer Holly Kimber that had the crowd mesmerised with her beautiful country style voice and acoustic guitar. Definitely a talent to watch out for in the future.
