The Katikati A&P Show Society's hall in Major St has been freshened up thanks to a $14,500 grant from the Grassroots Trust. The building has been given a new lick of rich red paint by Douglas Robinson of Tallman Painting.
The Katikati A&P Show has a long and proud history dating back to 1913 (with a few years missed during wartime) and is Katikati's oldest event. It remains a traditional show at heart, attracting competitors and visitors from all over the district and enjoys strong support from the local community.
As Katikati's population grows, the A&P Show has grown too and it provides a vital link between the town and the rural community.
The A&P committee is busy now preparing for the 100th show in 2022.
