The Wanaka A&P Show has rarely disappointed in its 81-year history, and the weekend's edition was no exception. About 38,000 people enjoyed the festivities on Friday and Saturday, especially the Jack Russell race on Saturday afternoon, which event manager Jane Stalker said was the hot topic of conversation: ''The biggest asked question was 'What time is the Jack Russell race on?'.'' Rodeo legend Pat McCarthy fired up the yapping entrants by dragging a dead hare around the main ring from horseback. Eventual winner Louie took a little tracking down as he fled from the ring after completing his run. She catered for the kids, the adults, the clients and also her potential clients, all in her little marquee.''
