Hastings

Elder and Sister Farnes arranged for the Senior Couples to get together before going into Napier for the Art Deco Days.  There ward provided brunch for all of us at the church at 11:00 a.m. on February 15.  They had a large variety of food.  

Elder and Sister Farnes dressed up in the 1930's outfits.  Each year Napier hosts the Art Deco Days to remember the great earthquake in 1930 which destroyed most of the city.  For the last 25 years they have remembered the strength of their ancestor who rebuilt this city into the great city which it is today by reliving that era.

Sister McVey and Sister Hirschi

These are the great Maori sisters who provided the brunch.  The Maori people are very giving and if they provide the food there is usually a lot and you are expected to eat a lot.

These are the nine couples who attended.  From left to right:  President and Sister Kezarian, Overton's, Shepherds, McVeys, Farnes, Hirschis, Hadlocks, Freemans and Richards.

We ended the day with eating at a pizza place in Havelock which located just outside of Hastings.
