Continuing our day of enlightenment and amusement at the Wanaka A&P...[not shown because we saw only one day's offerings...the Grand Parade, the Jack Russell races, the shearing contests, the running of the sheep, etc.]
 |
| More sculpture/ironmongery |
 |
| Really nice outdoor grill set |
 |
| Another street scene |
 |
Puffers for your pooch; so how can you properly fit Fido if you can't bring him to the fair? But not this day, at this show...
|
 |
| Huge nice greenhouse |
 |
| More scary farm apparatus |
 |
| "A wandering minstrel, I..." |
 |
| Watching little kids riding, practicing |
 |
Interesting tiny house, sort of...just 30k NZ$; portable; "accessory dwelling" for your farm/ranch/station? |
 |
| Watching a 10-year-old doing the jumps...she was good |
 |
| Receiving her gold ribbon |
 |
Best in show...the single malt was cask-strength...
69%; and delicious |
 |
At a bank client hospitality tent--hey, we used one of
their ATMs--using a stock dosing gun to put ketchup on
Vicki's sausage sandwich (she's now worm-resistant, too) |
 |
Yet another winery/distillery...
|
 |
| Only a few RV exhibits, and mostly of the macho variety |
 |
| Another kiddie area |
 |
We've seen (the tops of) these humongous things
growing in fields all over NZ--they're nearly
watermelon-size; in NZ they're called "Swedes,"
as in Swedish turnips or beets; actually a variety of
rutabaga, according to Google
|
 |
| Among our major take-aways from the show |
 |
| Needed to be closer to the distillery exhibits |
 |
| You can really get fleeced here |
 |
We leave you with this final, unforgettably disturbing scene, for
which you can supply your own caption |

More tastings! Great fair. Gosh, I had forgotten about going to the Tallahassee fair...parking a mile away and having to walk in the heat and dust!
