A & P Show Arts & Crafts Winners...
Wow - what fantastic entries we had to the Arts & Crafts section of Putaruru on Show - over 200 in total and considering the awful weather, we had around 200 viewers at the granstand. The tough decision to cancel the A & P Show, Axemen and Top Team was taken at 6am on Saturday morning, and whilst the axe men can't chop in the rain, it was the wind that stopped the A & P Show from going ahead, as the wind spooks the stock, and we had a 9m inflatable slide coming in for the Top Team event - we had visions of a scene from The Wizard Of Oz flying off into the sunrise...We had worked so hard with the schools with the arts & crafts since last December that there was never any chance of us cancelling.
Because of the met service weather forecast and the fact that we couldn't guarantee the roof in the grandstand, we couldn't put any artwork into the grandstand until the morning of the show - which saw Bex, Nat and myself up at 5am to set up working by car light as we couldn't find the light box which is in some random place in the building, we laughed, laughed and laughed some more and learned a big lesson. Finally we got there and here are the winners..
