121st Helensville A&P Show
February 22 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Come along to the 121st Helensville A&P Show for a great family day out, complete with farm and competition animals. This year is all about Dairy so you can see a cow and a sheep being milked, have a go at making butter, taste some beautiful dairy products or just pat a pet calf. Elsewhere you can watch the shearer and feel the soft, warm wool, straight off the sheep's back, then admire the spinners and knitters who take the sheep's fleeces and create clothing. If you're a dog lover you can see the clever sheep dogs in action or cover your ears when they have a bark-up (to see who is the loudest Huntaway!). Bring your family pet dog and enter in the Vets North Pet Dog Show or Terrier Race (the Terrier Race is only open to Fox Terriers or Jack Russells). Blacksmiths will be trimming horses' feet and crafting things out of metal. You can follow the Junior Farmer competition over at the Universal Cranes community stage.
