Magical Mangawhai gala turns on the fun

 
Sunshine, smiles and children’s excitement flowed as crowds flocked to Mangawhai Beach School’s annual Agriculture and Gala Day on October 22. Live entertainment, delicious food, beautiful student artworks and a variety of fun stalls offering a raft of activity from balancing on Segways to stress release of plate smashing, engaged gala-goers and helped raise $34,000 for the school.
