The Dannevirke netball headquarters became action central on Saturday morning when Pulse wing attack Liana Leota arrived to meet fans.
Young netballers and their parents queued out the door as they waited to meet the star player.
"It was a fantastic morning," Rochelle Cammock, the administrator for Dannevirke netball, said. "We're so pleased the Pulse management decided to include Dannevirke in their visits and Leota was a hit with everyone. There were quite a few star-struck girls there."
After signing posters and netballs, Leota spent some time with a group of girls answering questions ahead of her team's big match against the Southern Steel in Palmerston North the next day.
