From kids’ entertainment to trade sites, visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities on Saturday, November 8, and Sunday, November 9.
Secretary Anthea Mathers said those behind the event had focused their efforts on supporting the community for this year’s offering.
“We’re really pushing for local skills and local talents this year. We’re looking at having a local showcase for performances and the like,” she said.
“Community groups have taken us up on that, and they’ll be performing throughout the show.”
For the first time, the show will participate in the Junior Rural Ambassador Program, which celebrates the achievements of young people in agriculture.
A $250 prize is on offer for the winner, who will continue with the program at the Northern Districts and Melbourne shows if successful.
The show’s new website has also attracted a significant number of entries in its competitive categories, with prized horse, cattle, poultry and more on display.
Other highlights include woodworking and slime making workshops, a scarecrow competition, the annual sponge cake bake off and a sheep shearing demonstration.
Along with classic rides and showbags throughout the weekend, Saturday night is set to end with a doughnut eating competition and a fireworks display.
“There’s lots on offer down at the showgrounds this year, and we’re looking forward to building on our committee and working towards our big 150th celebration next year,” Ms Mathers said.
“We’re actually one of the longest running shows in Victoria.”
Ms Mathers encouraged everyone to celebrate the local show and all it had to offer, and thanked the sponsors and volunteers who helped to make it possible.
The show will run from 10am to 10pm on Saturday, and from 10am to 3pm on Sunday.
