Day 1 - Horowhenua A & P Show

If you are one of the hundreds of people that stopped by our stand at the show today in Levin, we thank you. It was great meeting each and every one of you and hearing your door slamming stories. Though some of your stories were almost too heart breaking to bear.

Our day was action packed. I have to admit to leaving Nick alone to tend the booth for hours while I enjoyed the show. I watched the magician, the show jumping, the Santa Gertrudis judging, the women's' sawing, the men's' chopping, the Axeman show, visited the Greyhound pets, SPCA barn, and the alpacas. Nick took 30 minutes to wolf down some lunch. Sounds fair.

We will be back tomorrow if you missed us today. There is nothing like a live demonstration of door slamming without protection and then a similar slam being suppressed by the use of a SoftSlam to make you a believer. There are still sceptics. The numbers can be improved but it will take all of us working together.

Time to sleep. See you tomorrow,

Elizabeth
