Annabel and Alice had the privilege of meeting the visionary artist, Matt Rainey, behind the mother and baby kiwi sculptures. As a reward for their creative contributions, they received family passes and delicious treats for a cinematic experience at the Ashburton Regent Cinema. Custom-made name plaques will forever commemorate the chosen names for the kiwis.
This competition wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of our valued sponsors. Kat Quin, the author and illustrator of "Kuwi & Friends," provided the beautiful colouring in designs.
We'd like to extend our thanks to the Ashburton Regent Cinema and the Trevor Wilson Trust for kindly supporting the costs of the family movie passes and treats. Also, a big thank you to the Ashburton Library and Ashburton Courier for helping promote this event.
Finally, our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Matt Rainey, whose artistic talents designed and created the kiwi sculptures, enhancing our mihi-themed garden at the front of our Ashburton office.
