The Central Hawke’s Bay A&P Show is coming to Waipukurau this weekend for fun and healthy rural competition.

In its 115th year, president Richard Ellis said the newest feature would be wood chopping.

“We went to the Wānaka Show just a year ago, just to catch up and see how they do it down south.

“Its quite different to the North Island shows, but I think the North Island shows are under a changing pressure, they have got to adapt, and it certainly made a lot of difference going down there and getting new ideas.”

“People can actually have a picnic lunch and I’ve mowed it all, it looks really smart especially now its rained so it will be nice and fresh.

Possibly the most popular attraction will be the shearing and woolhandling championships, which packs the shearing pavilion each year.

Those entering the Sheep category were competing for over $6000 in prizemoney and spot prizes.

Photography categories at this year’s show include Someone Special, Somewhere Special in Central Hawke’s Bay and Rural Life, and A Special Part of New Zealand.
