Logger sports, lawnmower racing and a tractor pull are just some of the attractions at this year’s Northland Field Days, which are set to take place from Thursday, February 28 to Saturday, March 2 at Dargaville.
The three-day event attracts around 25,000 visitors and 550 exhibitors every year, with a wide range of displays and entertainment with a rural flavour, including sheep dog trials, cutting horse demonstrations, a food hall and helicopter rides.
Organisers say the Field Days make an ideal day out for anyone, and not only farmers.
“There is something for everyone at this event – whether you are a farmer, a lifestyler or a ‘townie’, with plenty of live demonstrations, Field Days specials, new innovations in technology and equipment to be seen.”
Tickets to the region’s biggest annual agricultural event cost $12 for adults, $5 for children aged from 5 to 16, $30 for a family pass and under fives are free. Gates open at the Awakino Point East Road showgrounds at 9am each day.
