Wairarapa balloon festival star attraction
The star attraction of next month’s annual hot air balloon festival in Wairarapa will be a giant panda bear, making its first trip outside of the United States to fly exclusively in New Zealand at the Wairarapa event. ‘Pandy’, the big boy from Texas will fly alongside approximately 25 other hot air balloons in the fourday event 08-11MAR. Built in Brazil, Pandy stands as tall as an eight-storey building. www.nzballoons.co.nz
