The 89^th Katikati A and P show is under way at Uretara Domain today, with a cool breeze bringing many people in early this morning.

The A and P Show had only just opened its gates at 9am, but there was already cars piled up on the streets and a steady flow of residents and visitors making their way around the stalls and displays.

The vintage machinery display ready for its exhibition this afternoon.

Secretary Anne Howard says the show has added a few new features this year such as the Water Walkers, where you can run on the water in giant plastic balls and a new Clydesdale section that she hopes will do well.

Water Walkers were popular with the kids.

Events will be happening throughout the day including cattle judging, cricket display and a milking competition. There will also be live music from the Katikati Community Band.
