Wanaka is ready for the big show.
The tents are up and the animals in all ready for the first day of the Wanaka A&P Show today.
Event manager Jane Stalker said she was hoping for a crowd of at least 40,000, which would equal last year's total.
Organisers and volunteers were busy yesterday making sure everything was in place for the opening day of the show today.
''It would be great to get over 40,000 and with the weather looking decent there's no reason why we won't get more.''
