Visitors were present from Marton, Hunterville, Turakina and Wanganui. The music was supplied by the Hunterville Midnight Revellers, and was appreciated by the dancers. Extras were played by Mrs. Wereta. The chocolate wheel was a novelty and was kept turning all the evening. The competition was won by Mr. C. Turner.
