Alpacas stole the show at the Mauriceville Country Fair, held on Sunday, 6 December 2009 in the Mauriceville Domain, 10 kilometres north of Masterton.
With a wide variety of stalls, there was plenty of choice.
Music was provided by the Fern and Thistle Pipe Band, the Masterton Municipal Band, the Trad Seven jazz ensemble, and others.
Mauriceville School produced delicious scones with jam and cream, and an opportunity for a sit-down. A variety of other food stalls ensured all tastes were catered for.
A vintage car display provided trips down memory lane for many people. Here's a lovely old 1947 Hillman Minx
An extremely well-behaved dog waited patiently for its owner to complete her purchases.
Another pen of alpacas, taking the weight off their feet.
Some slightly less politically correct rag dolls.
