Exhibitors and visitors are warming up for three days of show-jumping, woodchopping and dog trials as the New Zealand Agricultural Show marks its 160th anniversary.
The Canterbury show is hoping to overtake last year's record-breaking attendance numbers, with over a 100,000 people coming along.
The Canterbury A&P Association president Anne Rogers and the show's Christmas Cake competition convenor and passionate Christmas cake baker Christine Beaton spoke to Corin Dann and Ingrid Hipkiss.
