Lawnmower races drew a crowd at the Kurow Kruisers Show Us Your Toys event at Kurow Airfield on Saturday.

Taking first place in the second round is (front) Vinnie Smith, of Oamaru; in second Jack Buckland, of Duntroon; and in third Rory Crafar, from Australia.

The annual event featured a classic car show, attracting more than 200 cars from Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin, and thousands of spectators.

There were also stalls, a bouncy castle, competitions, food stalls and entertainment.

Kurow Kruisers secretary Lou Tait said she was "really proud" of the tiny Kurow Kruisers committee who "dug their heels in" to put on a special show.
