Gold FM Drag Race at Beach Hop 2018

A big thanks to The Waihi Beach Bakery Hot Cross Bunnies, The OceanaGold Oceans3, The Undertrained and Overconfident Waihi College Boys and the Mitre 10 Mustang Sallies for raiding their girlfriend’s wardrobes and braving the crowds to run, skip and hula hoop their way down Seddon Street for the Gold FM Drag Race. Gold FM Drag Race Winners 2018:

• 1st Past the Post - Waihi Beach Bakery Hot Cross Bunnies
• 2nd - Pipped at the Post - Undertrained and Overconfident – Waihi College students
• 3rd team home Oceans3 - OceanaGold
• Last Team Home Mustang Sallies from Mitre 10 Waihi
• Bad Luck / Sad Luck Story - Worst hoola hooper – Mustang Sally team member.

Everyone competing took home a prize. The Te Awamutu Dairy Queens and the Te Kawa Titty Pullers, young farmers from down the line, registered to do their ‘thing’ at the Gold FM Drag Race again but had to pull out at the last minute. We’re sorry to have missed out on their cheeky high jinks but understand when the ‘girls’ (cows) at home have to come first. Four local teams entered as well and proved Waihi boys do have what it takes to be real men and dress up to entertain Beach Hoppers.
