Hunting pests for school fundraiser
Dozens of pigs, rabbits, goats and possums met their fate during the Toko School Pig Hunt.
Held over Labour Weekend, the weather was perfect for the successful event. In the kids’ section there were 91 rabbit, hare, possum and goat head entries. There were 78 pigs entries, and 31 pigs were weighed in on the day.
The event also featured entertainment, with flights from Precision Helicopters, a bouncy castle, obstacle course and lolly scramble keeping the kids busy.
