Tiny Town draws big crowd

A wet day one of the school holidays resulted in a packed ILT Stadium Southland, with youngsters enjoying its Tiny Town.

Events and programme manager Alex Morrison-Bailey said the Kidzone event was cancelled due to Covid-19, so they decided to bring the attraction to the Invercargill stadium for three days instead.

"We had people waiting outside — before the doors opened. We are happy people are enjoying it and we are expecting thousands of kids on those days."

"I usually help my dad when he is fixing our car. But this is quite fun as well."
