“Additionally, increased off-street parking has been arranged to alleviate any logistical concerns, allowing attendees to focus on enjoying the festivities,” Mr Cameron said.
“The heart of the Tiniroto Easter Game Hunt lies in its displays of hunting achievements, and this year’s event promises to impress with more purpose-built rails to showcase the entries of red deer stags, wild boars, goat heads, possums, rabbits and hares.
“The junior section, in particular, will highlight the talents of young hunters, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment within the community.”
Also on offer will be a host of free entertainment options, including bouncy castles and face painting.
Tiniroto School will host a gold coin entry obstacle course.
“We have taken this event that has been so successful over the last 20 years to a whole new level,” Mr Cameron said.
“Our goal is to create an unforgettable experience for everyone while showcasing the best of what our community has to offer.
“Generous sponsorship has allowed organisers to offer up to $20,000 worth of prizes this year.
“The support of local businesses underscores the event’s importance within the community and ensures that participants have the chance to walk away with fantastic rewards,” Mr Cameron said.
