Home industry skills are flourishing if the Dannevirke A&P Association's show is anything to go by.
Association vice-president and home industries president Pam Henricksen said entries were up across the board and many were from people who had not entered before.
"There were a lot of new entries and a lot from young ones, which looks good for the future."
She said the work entered was outstanding. She thanked all her helpers for their hard work.
"They just turn up and do what they have to do. The heat in the hall does make it quite trying though."
