TERRIFIC EEL TALES!

Te Awamutu Museum is planning an exhibition on eels, which opens in April. We want to include stories from local people with their experiences of eels around Waipa. Do you have any great eel stories? For example tales of giant eels, stories of injuries caused by eels, or mysteries surrounding eels, where are the best places to find eels now, or where in the past could eels be found? The longfin eel is endangered so the exhibition will also talk about how you can help save this amazing creature. 

We would like your stories by 24 February please. Please email us your story, drop it off at the museum or post it in to Private Bag 2402, Te Awamutu 3840. Please make sure your story is true, is less than 250 words and is easy to understand. If your story is selected for the exhibition, we will publish your name along with it, so please include your full details too!
