Another year, another record attendance at the Wanaka A&P Show.
Now in its 80th year, the event attracted 45,000 rural folk and city slickers, with a few wide-eyed tourists mixed in.
That was 5000 more than the record set last year.
Those not acquainted with rural life kept a close eye on the ground, trying to dodge any surprises left by one of the more than 2000 cattle, sheep, goats and horses which took part in the show.
Sheep shearing, wood chopping, candy floss, carnival rides, perfectly grown produce and everything else agricultural and pastoral were on display at the two-day event.
