Junior Schedule :	After its great success over the last two years we have again produced a Junior Schedule (see tab adjacent for full copy) in an attempt to increase the involvement of both juniors and teachers in the show. This condenses the various enterable classes and competitions available to juniors and schools into one easy to use document, copies of which have been distributed through all the local schools & youth oriented community groups and in various places around Wellington. Also included are many new competitions with great prizes on offer. Eventually we would like to encourage the establishment of a Junior Show Committee and get Junior Stewards in all sections. If you are interested in being involved please contact the Secretary (see Contacts tab)
Competitions:	This year we will be running a number of competitions for both the young and the young at heart, with many great prizes up for grabs. The competitions will include whip cracking, poetry, creative writing, colouring in, video, fashion design and a mini tractor pull. Have a look at the Competitions tab for further information!
Sections / Exhibits:	Refer to the various section tabs adjacent for full details of all enterable sections at our show. Anyone interested in seeing further new sections in next years show (such as Meat Goats, Alpacas, Cats, etc) and in a position to provide support or to act as steward please contact the Secretary, as we are always looking to further expand our range of exhibits
