The sulky rides were a hit at last year’s Paparoa Show.
Punters are being encouraged to start practicing their gumboot throwing for the 145th Paparoa Show this Saturday, February 6.
There will be a gumboot toss competition using a men’s size Red Band gumboot, with a top prize of $200.
And Paparoa Lions is holding a car smash, allowing people to take to a car with a sledgehammer to release some angst. The glass windows will be removed for safety.
Other spectacles include a horseback shooting display by the Western Riders roping team.
In a display of skill, riders will shoot balloons and targets while riding on a moving horse.
Children are encouraged to bring their togs for the day, as the Paparoa Fire Brigade will be operating a slip and slide.
The popular ‘kids’ country challenge’ returns with classic games including ‘guess who did the poo’.
There will be woodchopping, team roping and equestrian events, as well as cattle and goat judging.
Entry is $10 including parking at the rear of the site at 2062 Paparoa Valley Road. The show opens at 9am and will wind up around 4pm. Stall sites are $10.
