Horses and riders share a patch of shade between events at last weekend's CHB A&P show in Waipukurau.

Horses and riders share a patch of shade between events at last weekend's CHB A&P show in Waipukurau.

A fine and sunny day drew a large crowd to the CHB A&P Show last weekend, to take in the trade and retail stands, entertainment, inaugural Trash to Fashion competition, equestrian and rural events.

Food trucks and retail stalls did a steady trade as show-goers strolled around the grounds.

The shearing pavilion was packed with supporters, entries were high in the terrier race and the newly introduced community stage attracted a range of performers.

“The show is a true community event. It has huge support from volunteers and sponsors and it’s great to see the community turn out like this to enjoy and appreciate the event.”
