8 Aug 2015 Our first market session for 2015 and a chance for us to catch up with our Arorangi / Puaikura boothers. We took some dazzling strips and pix, added to family portrait collections, chatted to honorary locals and sampled a banoffee cup cake. Plus, Ms. Luna got a costume!.
A big meitaki to our booth-operator-in-training Rosaline, who made sure that Mauke got their booth on.

7 Aug 2014 It was a last-minute dash for us to make the Vaka Puaikura Concert this year - fortunately aunty and Jaz were on hand to take Aroko to the show. As usual some stunning shots were taken ‘out west’, with families updating their portraits, new pepes, young love, cousins chillin’, and performers hitting the booth direct from the stage. Only a few food stalls, but we can recommend the chicken curry and kebabs :).

9 Aug 2013 The Vaka Puaikura Concert was a bit earlier this year – bringing together some of the best performances from Te Maeva Nui. We spent the evening strategically moving our ei and ei katu from one side of our marquee to the other, as the wind was blowing the rain in from all sides. There were some awesome performances on the big stage, and equally inventive poses in the booth. A big meitaki much to the Mataroa kopu tangata for updating their family album with some fresh pix.

21 Dec 2012 The Starlight Concert was organised by the Impact Youth group, with talented performers singing and dancing up a storm. Outside the AOG Hall, vendors cooked up tasty treats, painted faces and took Christmas pix. The tamariki explored Candy Land and were entertained by the youth leaders. We added showbiz props to our Christmas selection for that Island-Santa-on-Broadway look.

3 Aug 2012 The Manihiki community returned to the booth tonight and turned out some striking frames. Being the end of the working week, boothers were looking fine - and ready to head into town at the close of the TMN performances.

2 Aug 2012 Word of our offer to bump performers to the front of the queue appears to have spread (thanks Kate). So more costumes were squeezed into the booth tonight. There were even one or two visitors to the Cooks who got some pix too :).

1 Aug 2012 A few more families discovered the booth tonight. For some visitors it was a final chance to get some great photos before returning home. This was also the debut of our new 'Aitutaki' (blue) backdrop.

31 Jul 2012 Each TMN we see a new range of t-shirts in the booth - from vaka, islands, and this year visiting groups, such as the SEHCO group from AK. The dancers from Tongareva and Mangiia visited us tonight - direct from the stage. We also took some pix for newly-weds, families, a few other market-types and the behind-the-scenes crew.

30 Jul 2012 The first night of competition at the auditorium - with a few international cameos. First-up: an encore performance from visitors from Raetihi (NZ); and after intermission, the lovely ladies from the American Ragtime Dolls took to the stage. The girls from Tongareva also made the most of the booth in their stunning purple costumes.

28 Jul 2012 We dedicate this album to our guests from Raetihi - here to represent NZ at Te Maeva Nui celebrations. One wahine proudly informed us that “where we’re from it gets to minus 15” - so the whole group were enjoying the relative warmth of the Raro Winter. We also saw Arorangi regulars from the Akaoa Night Market and Vaka Puaikura concert sessions, including acting PM Tom Marsters.
