We had these lovely baskets of fruit for sale at the Morrinsville Museum Market Day stall . We sold a few but there are several left over. You get the basket as well as the fruit for a donation. Lovely fresh, locally grown fruit.

They are in the foyer of the museum at 41 Canada Street but they will need to be collected over the next couple of days to retain their freshness.

Tauhei School finished Term 1 on a high note with an exciting trip to the Morrinsville Museum. After weeks of studying local history, the students, organized into "buddy groups" of mixed ages, put their knowledge to the test. There was a real buzz of energy as the children stepped into the exhibition hall to be the first school group to explore the museum’s brand-new exhibition.

Happy Easter from Morrinsville Museum, we will have an Easter Raffle at the Morrinsville Country Market.
