Amberley A&P show reflecting change as North Canterbury becomes a 'destination'
The organisers of the annual Amberley A&P show say more "young blood" is needed to help show North Canterbury is more of a destination than it used to be.
Thousands from across Canterbury attended the 117th Amberley A&P Show at Amberley Domain on Saturday, but the show committee is looking for new ways of getting people through the gates.
President Peter Greenwood said A&P shows across the country are struggling to get more young people involved.
"We have really good support from businesses and the community, we just need to attract some young blood."

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
