Waimate Strawberry Fare
Waimate
12 Dec 2009

The summer months of New Zealand bring an abundance of strawberries to Waimate. Residents celebrate the fruit with visitors as they host farming activity contests like scare-crow building, cow-milking and cross-cut sawing. If farm competition is not your strength, sit back with some strawberries and enjoy the fair music.
