Children’s Day in Ōtaki was nothing short of magical! Families, friends, and community members gathered for a day filled with laughter, fun, and creativity. The event was a true celebration of our young people, and among the many highlights were two fantastic stalls run by young entrepreneurs from the Ōtaki Kids Market—Harper and Lana.
