Pick of the entries in this year's many Guy Fawkes competitions was this original model, entered by Tumanako Ribbon (left), of Te Karaka. On investigation, it was found that Tumanako had organised his younger brother Maurice into dressing up as Guy Fawkes, and towed him to the competition on a trolley. Needless to say, this was one guy that did not wind up on top of a bonfire.
