As the rural community’s annual highlight day quickly approaches, time is ticking for entries to enter in competitive events at the Marlborough A&P Show.
“From knitting and baking competitions to equestrian, livestock, sheep, cattle, pig and dog contests, we’re really keen to see projects start and as many entries as possible before October 25 when entries close”, says Marlborough A&P Show secretary Alice Parkinson.
“We’re seeing record interest year on year for the A&P Show with record numbers of trade sites, plenty of fun for the family and the ever-popular parade and terrier race, thanks to our fantastic sponsors Bayleys Marlborough, MotorWorld Group and PGG Wrightson.
“But it’s also something many people don’t know how to get involved in such a cornerstone event on the region’s calendar.”
Entries for this year’s show are easier than ever with an online option. Alice says it’s the competitive entries combined with a great day out which make the A&P Show such a fantastic community day.
“The A&P Show isn’t just an awesome day out for the family, it’s a day for people to show their talents between dog trials, shearing and equestrian events, through to animal husbandry, pets and the creative and handmade sections”.
The Marlborough A&P Show is on 9 November, with adult entry for $10 and kids under 16 free.
