Stratford A&P show a success

Thanks to a grant from the Taranaki Electricity Trust, the annual Stratford A&P show again proved to be an outstanding success.

The Stratford A&P is part of the fabric of Taranaki society. The annual event, held in 2022 on November 26-27, again saw thousands of locals enjoy the event that brings rural and urban together, Show Secretary Vicki Jagersma said.

The TET grant for 2022 enabled the show to hire a number of marquees that "ensured that we achieved our goal of an all-encompassing event," Jagersma said.

This included the Farrier National competition, the Matahio Kids Zone, and housing of dairy animals, which travel from all over NZ for the event.

"The Executive are aware that it would not be possible to host such a successful event without the continued support."
