Penguins at the Sand Sculpture Extravaganza
7 January 2020 - The new year kicked off with a 'delightful day of creative family fun with sand' at the 2020 Sand Sculpture Extravaganza organized by the Golden Bay Community Arts Council.
The 2020 Sand Sculpture Extravaganza saw a great turn out of both visitors and locals, with the Kiwi Conservation Club children sculpting a colony of penguins into the Pohara sand. The event was organized by the Golden Bay Community Arts Council. A big thank you from the trustees of the Mohua Blue Penguin Trust for raising awareness about our little blues in Golden Bay.
