Hi Daffnetters ,
Another small local show in our area today , Thursday 17 Sept …
Officially the Centenial Spring Show of the Rongotea & District Horticultural & Produce Society.
Well done Rongotea , going well but like most shows these days , not a lot of new faces to help
with the manual side of things and to man the desks …
Rongotea is a small settlment at a busy road intersection in rural Manawatu ; surrounded by some
of the best farmland in the country , a prosperous Dairying area and the show is in the local rugby
clubrooms which act as a community centre .It,s a newish building , great facilitys and a friendly crowd.
Rongotea was a local Maori chief from an earlier era …
Judge today was Reg Cull ; Wilfred Hall in the Novice and amateur grades .
Champion Bloom was 3 W – O — exhibited by Brian MacKenzie
