The rodeo was one of the biggest drawcards for the annual show, which reported one of the most successful events ever. Speed shears, amusement rides, equestrian events,candy floss and trade displays drew their share of fans who were not disappointed.
A & P president Dave Martin said all events enjoyed a resurgence this year with support from the local community. "You'd have to say confidence is up." Police reported no incidents. Show round-up in tomorrow's Hawke's Bay Today. PHOTO/PAUL TAYLOR HBT120562-03
