With our amazing 20+ volunteers, off we walked to the 77th annual A & P show. 1st stop was the the boer goats. One of the big ones charged the fence which gave some of us such a fright!
Then we headed around the ring to watch some horse riding and jumping. We stopped at the home industries tent which is always one of our favourites because we like to see our art work on display and find out if we have won anything for our produce. We were so excited to see we won 1st place for our Crab Apple jelly…made with the apples from the tree at AB’s!
Time for morning tea and while we were enjoying a refreshing drink, Mr John Key our NZ Prime Minister turned up which was a very unexpected surprise!
One compulsory stop each year is the sheep and alpacas. Then off to check out the farm equipment and some flash looking cars.
Phew…what a busy fun filled morning with lots to see. By now we were ready to start walking back for a specially prepared picnic lunch.
A big thank you to all our helpers for coming along with us, it was great to be out and about exploring our community.
