Wild West Fest 2015
Gunfights, cowboys, cheese-rolling contests, keg throwing and highway robbers extracting tolls from passing motorists - visitors to Waimamaku experienced all that and more when the South Hokianga town staged its 13th Wild West Festival on Saturday. Advocate photographer Peter de Graaf donned his stetson and spurs for a taste of the action.
