Cup Day here in Christchurch was a great event this year. The event is officially called the Trotting Cup, which was held at the the Addington Raceway on Tuesday. The event was a sell out this year. With people dressed to the nines. It was great to see all the fashions and the hats and to watch the horse racing. People even brought in picnic lunches. The weather was also quite interesting from sunny and hot, to windy and rainy, then back to sunny.
After the race, we had some Greek food and then saw a free show of a up and coming NZ band called Atlas. There were a lot of people at the show that were still all dressed up from the races. Friday is a public holiday here and there are events going on at the fair grounds, such as a rodeo and stock show. We will have to see if we can make it over there to see it.
