The seventh annual Kamo Touch-A-Truck fundraiser for the Ngunguru and Kamo volunteer fire brigades was dubbed one of the best yet.
Ngunguru Station officer Willie Popata said about 4000 to 5000 people came through the gates of Hurupaki School on Sunday to check out the major interactive showcase of trucks and machinery organised by the two brigades.
”It was probably one of our best years... We couldn’t believe how busy we were.
”It brings a lot of people, adults and kids, to come and jump on the gear and get some interest in the industry as well.
Popata said the funds raised were still being counted, but he estimates the figure so far is around $10,000.
