(Clearwisdom.net, February 16, 2004) Falun Gong practitioners from Auckland, New Zealand participated in the 2003 Christmas parade in the Pamure area and won the First Runner Up Award. This was the third time in a row that they won this award.

Each year, thousands of local people watch the annual Pamure parade. Several dozen organizations, including community service departments, Chinese communities, schools and enterprises participated. Falun Gong practitioners' costumes and floats have become even more and more beautiful. They won countless rounds of applause, and spectators shouted, "Hello! How are you!"
