We are NOT hosting the Golden Loaders at the A&P Show this year but have no fear - we have listened to our contractors and are coming back with a bigger and better event - The Harvest Games!
Keep an eye out for more information as it comes.
Have a safe and happy show weekend and we will see you in January!
