Museums in Rangitikei are highlighting the district's top sporting stars in this year's Heritage Weekend.
The towns of Bulls, Marton, Hunterville, Mangaweka and Taihape are taking part to showcase their sporting clubs and players of the past.
Richard Aslett, who chairs the Rangitikei Heritage Group, says the two-day event has been gaining traction over the recent years.
"It seems to be growing in popularity, we did have a little blip about three years ago when the weather was absolutely terrible on the Saturday but we made up for it on the Sunday."
The event was started 11 years ago by the Rangitikei Heritage Group, which includes representatives from the district's five museums, alongside associated members from Turakina, the Waiouru National Army Museum, and the Whanganui Regional Heritage Trust.
