Te Puke Primary School pupils, from back left clockwise, Henry Stapleton, Katie Doughty, Chloe Whyte and Lacy Hyatt are excited about the Great Kiwifruit Festival on Saturday. More than $9000 worth of prizes are up for grabs at this weekend's Trevelyan's Great Kiwifruit Festival presented by Te Puke Primary School. Central to the day is the Kiwifruit Derby - a series of races for sponsored kiwifruit leading up to a grand final with the winner taking away the TPPS Great Kiwifruit Derby trophy to hold for a year. ''As the world capital of the kiwifruit we want to put Te Puke on the map and celebrate our town in a unique and community focused way,'' says organiser Elle Reid, the school's sports co-ordinator.
