Taihape's A&P Show and Gumboot Day

Taihape Community Development Trust

Taihape's A&P Show and Gumboot Day have joined forces in 2021 to create the Go Throw Show, set to kick off at Memorial Park at the end of the month.

Taihape Community Development Trust Project and Events Co-ordinator Pania Winiata said the town's A&P Show usually ran in January, with Gumboot Day taking place in March. "Discussions occurred over the Covid-19 period, and it was decided, let's put on one big event'.

Market stalls, food stalls, static stalls, shearing, gumboot throwing, wood chopping, hobby horses, cottage Industry, live bands, activities and rides for the children are just a few of the attractions on offer this year.

The Taihape Riders will be there giving rides and are fundraising for our Taihape Playground Group, for a new playground down at Memorial Park.

Tyson Burrows from Taihape's Rustic Steak House, will be returning to sell food as well as doing a food demonstration.

The squash club will also be opening up, so if anyone wants to know what squash is all about they're more than welcome to go and have a hit.

Most of all a big thank you to everyone who will be part of the event, whether it be as a stall holder, displays, sponsor or volunteer Saturday the 30th Jan will be a great day to be had by all.
