A wealth of talent performed for the judges in Radio 2ZG's talent quest. Forays into Tokomaru Bay, Tolaga Bay, Te Karaka and Gisborne produced a large range of performers for the big final in the War Memorial Hall. Over $500 was raised for charity and the winner, Georgina Wainui of Te Karaka (Left), received a radiogram as her prize. Other contestants are pictured on these pages.
