Sir Edmund Hillary & Lady Hillary visited Feilding on Saturday 24th February 1996. The people of Feilding turned out to see Sir Edmund present certificates to Manchester Street School children, climb a calico Mount Everest in Manchester Square and be welcomed to Feilding. They both arrived at the Square in Peter Olsen's horse-drawn landau and left by helicopter for Kitchener Park. There they were welcomed by Hato Paoroa pupils before a crowd of about 500.
