The 2020 Kumeu Show will be held on March 14-15.

Animal competitions, woodchopping, shearing, arts and crafts and machinery demonstrations will headline the 2020 Kumeu Show next weekend.

The two-day event starts on March 14 at the Kumeu Showgrounds.

Kumeu Show manager Lizelle Westman says there will be plenty to see at the 98^thshow this year.

“Keep an eye out for animal competitions: equestrian, dairy goats, alpacas, poultry, pet lamb and goat on Saturday and Nigerian dwarf goats on Sunday,’ she says.

Other entertainment which is a must see are international woodchopping (broadcasted by Sky TV), ANZ Shearing Team Circuit Finals and a strongman competition.

Wiseman says the entertainment stage will have some great music and dancing groups.

“Don’t forget to have a turn at line dancing on the Saturday and Sunday…..Chelsea Marriner is back with her dogs to provide some brilliant entertainment.

“Apart from all the entertainment, we will have over 300 stalls from Arts & Crafts to machinery. Make sure you have a wonder around…..lots of food choices as well.”

This year’s show bar will be run by local brewery Hellertau Brewery.

“Make sure you come and support them. Keeping it local, we are happy to have Rachel and Regan Tatlock from Delectable Cuisine back doing our show catering for us. “
