PAPAROA A&P SHOW INDOOR SECTION
As one of the longest running shows in New Zealand the indoor section has had a long, proud and interesting history. It has always provided the opportunity for competition.

The early days saw amazing lacework, crochet, knitting and handwork completed by the clever ladies of the district. There was fierce competition for the lightest Sponge Cake and Best Preserves. Many of these skills are uncommon in these days of instant foods. With the changes in lifestyles our local show has moved with the times and has the largest number of classes that can be entered in the North. The Photography section always has an amazing collection of beautiful photos. For the children there is a Trevor Brljevich Cup for any young person under 16 with the best collection of six vegetables in the varied children's section. So, time to check out your schedule to get the children checking out which classes they will enter - and the classes you may like to enter.

The show is so much more fun when you participate and by participating you help make the show even better. Note: You can scan and email in your entry form to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that your labels are printed ready when you bring your exhibits to the hall. Entries must be taken in and entered Friday morning before 11.45 a.m. Photos can be entered earlier by completing an entry form with payment and posting them or handing them in at Skelton's Drapery.
Have a go and enter into the fun of the Paparoa Show!!
