Bush Districts Boys' and Girls' Agricultural Club success

Patiently waiting to show their lambs.

It was gorgeous weather for this year's Bush Districts Boys' and Girls' Agricultural Club day held on November 12.

Owing to the Blackwell family, who allowed the use their property next to the Mangamaire Hall, there was plenty of room for all the pets.

Local school children from 10 different schools brought 53 lambs and 27 calves for judging.

The success of the day was enhanced by the generosity of the many local business sponsors. All children who entered left with a ribbon, a sponsored spot prize and a chocolate bar.

Sheldon Brown - Supreme Champion Calf, with Sophie Bourke - Supreme Champion Lamb.

Major sponsors this year included Farm Source Pahiatua who paid for the calf ribbons, Farmlands Pahiatua who once again covered the cost of the lamb ribbons and Ravensdown NZ who sponsored the winning children's medals.

The BNZ once again donated the major spot prize, a Rebel Sport voucher of $200, won by Aurora Mitchell-Jensen from Eketahuna School.
