Eighty-year-old Lois Whiting attended her first A&P show when she was 10 years old and still loves seeing the different farm animals on display.
"All the different breeds of cows, compared to what there used to be is really amazing," she said.
"They actually shampoo their cows too, you see them soaped up with purple bubbles all over them."
It was a great opportunity for city children to get a taste of country life, she said.
The shearing section was the most popular event but she enjoyed the home industries section.
