A nice overcast takes the heat off for the outdoor events today, like the A&P Show on its second day at the Tauranga racecourse, and the Lions Markets at the Historic Village in 17^th Avenue.

Tauranga A&P Lifestyle Show president David Harricks says the show is a wonderful, inexpensive, family day out – and not just for farming folk.

'It's for lifestylers – whether you have a worm farm at your apartment block, a vege garden in your backyard, or a lifestyle block with cattle in the country.

'There will be plenty for everyone to see and do including equestrian events and pony rides, a petting zoo, and cattle show, strongest man and wood chopping competitions, trade-stall holders, food trucks, artisan goods, a rock climbing wall and water slides, a fairground, lifestyle lane and old machinery.”
