Hawke's Bay show Handmade
Good morning. The entry form needs to be submitted by 6 October and even if you only put in one item, you get a free ticket to the Show (worth $10 this year). The Show needs our support as the number of categories has severely declined and needs reviving. you do not have to be living rurally to participate, we townies are just as welcome to enter.
If you can't get to Hastings to deliver or collect your entries, you can email and ask if one of the Show staff can do that for you.
Please consider supporting this event. I am not a member or staff of the Hawke's bay Show. I'm a local who doesn't want to see Hawke's Bay lose more.
