On Friday & Saturday March 15th & 16th we drove up to Napier and watched the annual Art Deco Days. It was really fun since there were some 9 other couples in attendance.
It started with a brunch organized by Elder & Sister Farnes who live in Hastings. It was put on by a group of sisters.
We were greeted by Elder & Sister Farnes in Art Deco attire |
We were then welcomed by President & Sister Kezerian
After the welcome Overton's, who left the following week,
bore their testimonies
The food spread was terrific as were the hostesses
If you see a non-smiling face, it wasn't the foods fault
Here we all are after dinner!
Next we went out to Taka Walker's workshop.
He's a master Maori carver.
After viewing the carvings, we proceeded to the top
of a nearby hill to view all of Hawkes Bay. As you can
see from the photos below the view was breathtaking
Way off in the distance..about 25km..is Napier and "Art Deco" |
We all caught an early dinner
After dinner it was off to view the old cars and people.
I'll make a few comments, but enjoy the fun times!
The people were more than happy to pose for a photo!

Doesn't this couple look familiar? It's the Farnes and they fit right in! |
Even the little guys get into the action |
Don't know where they found this guy, but he looks like he's home in Tennessee |
All led up to a fantastic air show from vintage aircraft
and the crowd was ready for the spectacle
The following morning the Farnes put on a great breakfast
and we all departed for our various homes...
Thanks Elder & Sister Farnes for a great time!
