Culture in the Rangitikei
Rangitikei is fortunate to have its very own Maori entertainment group,
an award winning choir, an enthusiastic Musicians Club, and various other
theatrical venues. Each town has its own special event, including the world
famous gumboot throwing contest in Taihape,
farm dog barking competions in Hunterville,
Agricultural and Pastoral shows, market days and much more. A visit
to the Rangitikei will give you a taste of the rural culture at the heart
of New Zealand.
