It's a big week for Canterbury - Cup and Show Week in fact. Later today Addington Raceway will be the scene of much fun, food and fashion - not to mention the odd horse race or two in the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup.
And tomorrow the country's oldest and largest agricultural show gets underway, bringing the country to the city with a range of events and competitions.
Tracy Ahern is the general manager of the NZ Agricultural Show, which had to be ditched in 2020 and was restricted to school groups last year. She joins Kathryn to talk about why there's a focus this year on getting as many kids along as possible.
