The Katikati A&P Show was again a roaring success, with hundreds enjoying the animals, exhibitions and demonstrations that filled the Uretara Domain and showgrounds.
Show president Louellen Davies said it was another very enjoyable show.
"Our show day dawned with misty rain which soon cleared and although sunny, it was very comfortable weather-wise."
From the enormous scaffolding as you came in through the gates which housed the bubble-wrapped building under which were the V8 simulators, to the highland dancing, the show was a great success, bringing in a wide variety of public, exceeding organisers' expectations.
Attendance was up, along with trade sites which had a new layout resulting in very happy vendors. With this change the public flow was vastly improved and the children's activities were increased.
