Country puts on a city show

The 2015 Tauranga A&P Show next Saturday is being described as a modern show for everyone, of any age, from the city or country.

The Tauranga A&P Show is returning to the city on January 17.

Getting to the show at Greerton's Tauranga Racecourse on January 17 is easy, thanks to a free bus service.

'Just cut the voucher from our newspaper advertisements and use it to catch a Bay Hopper Bus from anywhere within the city for a free ride to and from the show,” says Terry Woodmass, of the organising committee.

It's free entry for children aged 12 and under, with a number of free activities for youngsters to enjoy.

Back by popular demand are the Northern Horde, with their displays of medieval combat and culture, and the Bay of Plenty Strongest Man contest, where a NZ record was set at the 2014 event.

The Rotorua Axemen's Club will demonstrate wood chopping and sawing, with some of the country's top shearers competing in a ‘test match' against the Welsh Shearing team.

Anyone can enter their dogs in the dog jumping contest, with dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds competing by jumping a ‘doggy high jump' with ever-increasing heights until a winner emerges.

Terry says special competitions have been introduced for Arab horses. There will also be show jumping and pony, harness and Western Riding events too.

The Home Industries competitions are open to children and adults, with a wide range of sections from baking to handcrafts, to produce and photography.
