Rangiora A&P Show a "good day out"
Thousands of people turned out for this year's Northern A&P Rangiora Show last weekend.
Show secretary Lisa Dooling says final figures are yet to be determined, but this year's show takings are up on last year and feedback from visitors has been fantastic.
"Everything just ran really well. It was a good, fun day," she says.
Dooling says the past few months organising the show were "extremely busy", but she managed to fit in some time to knit and even entered an item in the show.
"I won first prize for a knitted hat. A friend of mine came up to me at the show and told me I'd won, so that was nice. I had planned on entering two things but just ran out of time."

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
