This past weekend the Rural Games were hosted here in Queenstown, New Zealand. Events were happening right in town at the rugby field all weekend. From speed spearing championship to sheep dog trials and even wood chopping championship. Friday, getting things rolling for the weekend, there was the Running of the Wools. Hundreds of ram and sheep alike ran through downtown Queenstown. Friday also happened to be Waitangi Day, a national Kiwi holiday. It marks the day the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the Māori and British settlers on February 6th, 1840. Needless to say, Friday was a big day and we quite enjoyed ourselves hanging out around town.
