2023, that's a wrap! HUGE thanks to everyone who made Saturday such a fabulous event 🤩

The Show wouldn't be possible without the generous and loyal support of our local community: funders, sponsors, performers, volunteers, stall holders, suppliers, competitors, judges, stewards & everyone who came out to attend. Great memories that will last us until next year :) Can't wait to see you all in 2024 - pop it in the diary, Saturday 13th January.

The Committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2022 Lake Hayes A&P Show. Given the challenges associated with operating events over the Summer due to COVID-19, and the uncertain timing of the move to the new traffic-light system, it was decided that proceeding with the event is sadly no longer possible. We look forward to seeing you back in 2023! #lakehayesshow #aandpshow #queenstown #arrowtown #lakehayes #community

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Our AGM is coming up on Tues

MARK YOUR CALENDARS:

Our AGM is coming up on Tuesday evening, 15 June and we would love for some new people to come along and see what our great show is all about.

Leading up to the AGM, we will reintroduce some of our committee members.

Bev Cason is one of our longest standing committee members, passionate about horses Bev has ridden all her life and grew up on a cattle station in Queensland. A life time working in accountancy has given her many enjoyable opportunities to volunteer her skills in many local sectors, the most astonishing being her ongoing commitment to the Lakes county A&P.
Bev was appointed as Secretary/Treasurer in 1986 and continued in this role till 1991. In 1991 the role split and Bev retained the Treasurer position which she still holds today!
Even though Bev has been involved in the A&P for all these years, she has never once had an opportunity to actually ride in the show, and has now hung up her boots after many years of equestrian pursuits.
Bev, pictured here on the left, is due a well earned retirement from the treasurers position and we are actively looking for someone to step into her role and join our wonderful committee. The show can not happen without the incredible volunteers and we would love to hear from you!

Come along on the 15th to meet Bev and have a chat. PM us or email secretary@lakehayesshow.com for more information on how you can be involved.

Bruce Patton has had a long-standing involvement with the lakes county show. He started as a sheep steward for the show in 1995, coopted by Liz McTaggart, who was the chief from 95 to 2003. Bruce was overseas from 2001-2003 and came back to find the rest of the sheep team had elected him to the chief role as Liz was moving away. He has filled this role on the committee ever since - With his background as a stock agent and a drafter he has been the perfect man for the job!
Bruce’s late wife's family have been competitors since the very early days, mainly in the produce section. 6 generations maybe 7 I’m told! The family tradition continues with Bruce's daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters being regular competitors in the pavilion. How wonderful to see the new generation continue in his footsteps.
Bruce needs help to continue running the shows sheep and fleece sections - join him today to help ensure the future of the Lakes county A&P, bringing town and country together.

Come along on the 15th to meet Bruce and have a chat. PM us or email secretary@lakehayesshow.com for more information on how you can be involved.

Meet Marlia Marais, our show secretary for 2021. Marlia first came over to NZ from South Africa on her honeymoon back in 2017 to visit family. She heard about our annual A&P Show on Facebook and thought it might be fun to go and watch/volunteer.
Which started out as helping on the day for a few hours, quickly changed when Marlia and her husband, Daniel, moved to Queenstown permanently the following year.
They have since been involved with the show every year and Daniel also assists our trade marshal on the day as showground manager. For the last 4 years Marlia has been involved with running the equestrian section. 2021 was Marlia’s first time acting as secretary, but her real passion lies with the horses, so we are looking for someone to fill her shoes for 2022 when she steps back into her equestrian role.

Come along on the 15th to meet Marlia and have a chat. PM us or email secretary@lakehayesshow.com for more information on how you can be involved.

Long-time local Phillip Bunn is our current show president. Owner of Central Dry Cleaning, he also runs the family deer farm on Morven Ferry Road with his sister Debbie MacColl.
Phil’s family has a long-standing affiliation with the show. His father was president for the 1969,70 and 71 shows, and his sister Debbie, who was president for the 1999 and 2000 shows is the only female president we have ever had to date! Debbie nominated Phil for a position on the committee in 2000 without his knowledge, and the rest is history, with Phil having served as president for a total of 7 shows now.
Phil enjoys a good show but admits that’s the closest he ever gets to horses, He is much more likely to be found on the slopes or enjoying a ride on his bike!
We thank Phillip for his long-standing commitment to the show, and are so glad that Debbie nominated him all those years ago! Phillip would love to step into another committee role next year, and we are actively looking for someone to fill his rather large shoes.

Come along on the 15th to meet Phillip and have a chat. PM us or email secretary@lakehayesshow.com for more information on how you can be involved.
