Work has started on the Kuripapango Bridge, with stock trucks and pregnancies just some of the many issues facing Rangitīkei residents because of its partial closure. A lot of produce goes over that road, a lot of fertiliser comes from Napier across into Rangitīkei, a lot of wool, red meat and forestry can come back this way, said Hastings Deputy Mayor Tania Kerr.

But most importantly, to celebrate survival. Thus, Fur Rendezvous.
