Local news at www.starnews.co.nz Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 19 September 2019, Page 11 School fair on Saturday There is something for everyone at this Saturday’s Allenton School fair. The biennial event has atheme of Lights, Camera, Action and will feature a photo booth, bouncy castle, silent auction, food options and much more. An entertainment stage will feature singers, dancers and a choir. Lining up to go in the dunk tank on the day will be school principal Bruce Tilby and local MPs Andrew Falloon and Jo Luxton. Other attractions include a mini digger, motorbike rides and a science showcase with live experiments. Fair cocoordinator Pam Carr said Skydiving Kiwis would drop into the school grounds to open the fair at 11am. She said there would be 18 class artworks auctioned off at the end of the event at 2pm and, in between, there were plenty of options to keep the whole family occupied. Allenton School’s Room 15 class of new entrants have collaborated to create this colourful artwork for the auction on Saturday. There was also face painting and wacky hair options and students had also filled treasure jars for sale with a range of ‘‘goodies’’. A fairy would be ‘‘floating’’ around waving her magic wand and the fair was strictly cash only, said Mrs Carr. Funds raised from the fair will be used to support playground upgrades at the school. Scenic Salmon Run back Rakaia Lions and local sports club volunteers are gearing up for the fifth annual Jackson Holmes Salmon Run on October 19. Every year something new is added to the event and this year there’s anew section of mountain bike track and the inclusion of a business challenge. An extra 4.5km has been added to the existing 22km mountain bike course and while the regular track is fast and flat and provides athletes with the opportunity to get the heart rate up, the new portion is more technical and requires afew more skills. The new bike section goes under the railway and vehicle bridges, out to the river’s edge and along fisherman tracks to the Acton Race. From there it heads through apine plantation and will feature obstacles and tree roots in areas that have never been raced before. Salmon Run organising committee member Mandy Hurst said the extra bike track section would add more interest to competitors and the second addition, the Farmlands Cup Challenge which emerged after a few ripples amidst sponsors, opened up the opportunity for businesses to get involved. All businesses were invited to participate in the challenge, she said. As well as the cup, the winner would have ‘‘the bragging rights’’ for the business who received the most points over all seven events for encouraging participation, health and fitness. ‘‘This is achance to inspire your work mates, members and supporters to enter because, regardless of where they finish, every entry counts as well as placings.’’ Everyone taking part in the Salmon Run was able to win medals and cash prizes and would be in the draw to win some amazing spot prizes given by generous sponsors and event supporters, said Mrs Hurst. As well as mountain biking, the event features multisport events, two duathlons, walking and running options. Events are aimed at both the competitive and noncompetitive athletes, individuals or teams. All events start and finish in the Rakaia Domain and most races follow, cross or use the Rakaia River.
