People dug deep to support next year’s 150th Warkworth A&P Lifestyle Show, as $24,000 was raised at a charity auction held at Bridgehouse in Warkworth last month.A&P Society president Mark Macky said he was blown away by the support.
“It’s a huge total and the A&P Committee is over the moon,” Mr Macky said. “I’d like to say a huge thanks to the very generous local businesses who donated the great items. Every last dollar goes to the A&P Society to help run the show next year and put on a great event for the community. It is one of the oldest shows in the country and it’s going to be a boomer.”
Wharehine was also announced as the principal sponsor of the event, along with Bayleys.
“It’s going to make a big difference. We hope this will be a long-term relationship.”
Mr Macky said the show had been through tough times in recent years, but he hopes next year’s show will be a turning point.
Punters could also bid live on a silent auction using a special app.
