Lawrence celebrates history with annual Heritage Day events and new vintage tractor starter

Lawrence's annual celebration of its history begins tomorrow night, featuring the opening of a new exhibit at the Tuapeka Goldfields Museum. The event will include a virtual race and stalls for early Christmas shoppers. On Sunday, the Tuapeka Vintage Club will showcase its vintage machinery, including a new mobile tractor starter. This equipment will help members start machines more easily, reducing the need for batteries. The Heritage Day event will offer visitors a chance to experience past customs and traditions. The club expects large crowds and aims to provide activities for families throughout the weekend.
