NOW that the Windhoek Agriculture Show has come and gone, maybe some of you have purchased the vehicle of your dreams from the exhibiting stands – maybe not. But the fact remains, is that the turnout of Motor dealers has once again pleased the organisers and proved to be one of the main attractions for the thousands of show goers.
Keeping the Windhoek Show tradition alive were the colourful outdoor exhibits of cars, bakkies, luxury sedans, tractors, farming equipment, you name it, which were displayed amongst the billowing banners and flying corporate branded flags.
From the Friday when the gates opened through to last Saturday, when the Windhoek Show shut its gates to the public, thousands of people visited the show where one of the highlights was the exhibits of the latest models. Side shows included a formidable BMX stunt display and a 4×4 Vasbyt on the first Saturday.
The participating dealers with a big motoring presence of vehicles across the range were the Pupkewitz Motor Division, with Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and GWM. Auas Motors displayed everything from their Spark to the Isuzu bakkie 4×4. Spes Bona brought out their new Mahindra bakkie range, and the Novel group enticed show goers with their wide selection of Mazda, Ford and Jaguar motor cars. Geely and C.A.M. were also out in full force.
Other exhibits which tied in with the agriculture theme were Hochland Tractors and Hoffmans Farm Implements and Otjiwarongo Motors & Tractors.
A delighted Harald Schmidt (Vice President Show Society) told Woema that the turnout of show goers this year was beyond their expectations, especially in these times. He said that the re-structuring of the stalls and exhibits this year, plus the additional features and entertainment factors, has re-invented the shows pulling power.
“My gratitude is always with the motor dealers whose participation over the year is tireless, and want to thank them for their continued support.”
