Puhoi 158th Anniversary

A great day was had, celebrating at Puhoi this year. The main difference being the fact it was held on a Saturday (instead of Sunday). There were plenty of musicians sharing the stage during the day and it was great to see the children enjoying the music. Eva and Tui made their first ever visit to Puhoi, Eva was the youngest Wech/Krippner descendant present. After the cleanup of the hall was finished, some of us met up at the Puhoi Pub for a meal.
