North fair game

By VICTORIA BARTLE

Kerikeri is blocking off its main street for 12 hours this Sunday, and preparing for thousands of visitors and locals to pour into the Bay of Islands town for its fifth annual Far North Country Fair.

The domain becomes a children's playground and entertainment area, with rides, games and competitions. Parking is plentiful and 130 stallholders will be selling their wares.
