Fun Times With Famous People # 2

Hahaha, hey guys.

The topic of this next blog in the Fun Times With Famous People series actually made me chuckle a little bit!!

By way of a bit of background, I remember doing this story while attending and reporting on interesting things at Fieldays 2006.

The famous person in this story is New Zealand's Davey Hughes. Davey is known in New Zealand, and also around the world as the founder of the outdoor clothing company Swazi with his wife Maggie in 1994.

At Fieldays 2006 I interviewed Davey about a new pair of thermal underwear that had been launched in the Swazi range - Jewel Bags.

Fieldays is the largest annual farming show/exhibition in New Zealand and regularly attracts over 100,000 visitors from both New Zealand and around the world each year.

 For all those kings out there looking to guard their treasure in style, Swazi have the answer.

Jewel Bags are a pair of thermal underwear which exhibitor and Swazi company founder Davey Hughes says is his favorite product in the Swazi range.

 Swazi also sell a wide variety of other wet weather and thermal gear.

 They are at Fieldays for their eighth year this year Mr Hughes said the main reason Swazi are exhibiting is to expose their range of products.

 Even though it is still early days of Fieldays this year, the stall has been buzzing.

 “The level of interest so far this year has been good,” he said.

 In the early days of the product, he said Swazi realised that Fieldays is where they had to be.

 “When we started selling to farmers, we realised that Fieldays is the biggest farming event in New Zealand. This is where our key market is, so we this is where we had to be.”

Anyone wanting to check out the range of Swazi products, including “Jewel Bags”, can find them at stand F7A.
