The East Coast Farming Expo will continue as planned.

The wet weather has dampened the ground but not spirits and in a meeting this morning exhibitors agreed to continue with day one of the Expo, with finer weather forecast for tomorrow.

Organiser Dave Martin said he was delighted at the positive attitude and the great Kiwi spirit of getting on with the job.

“We’ve had people offering to share exhibitor space and be as flexible possible to make the best of a wet situation,” he said.

The Expo will continue as planned and we look forward to an awesome day of top notch seminars and trade exhibitions.
