As usual we will be making entertainment for the whole family, our priority, something for everyone. Last year we had a couple of changes at the Showgrounds. The painting of the Home Craft Pavilion and the roof over the concrete stage. This year there will be some more changes. The big old tree by the booth fell down and has been removed. Also I encourage patrons to have a look at the Young Farmers Pavilion. We also hope to have the fencing on the west side of the grounds fixed. Last Show day, weather wise we had a magnificent day with rain a couple of day before hand. At the time of writing this message the season is looking very promising as the winter rains have been good. Once again during the year the Committee has been working away maintaining and upgrading our facilities. Competition in the Homecraft Pavilion will again be good as cooking and needlework always prove popular. The Lego section has expanded into a big attraction and creates a lot of interest. In the Young Farmers Pavilion we have made a few adjustments in the Grain and Fodder section deleting couple of classes that are no longer supported. Also on display in the Young Farmers Pavilion is the fruit and vegetables, honey, eggs, the photography and cut flowers. If your legs are getting a bit tired you can sit and watch the arena events. There is always something happening with the sheaf tossing and horse events. Side Show alley will again be very popular. The sheep shearing and animal nursery is almost a must see as well as the entries in the Jack McKenzie Pavilion. There will be plenty of food and drink stalls. The Apex Club provide a great chance to win a prize with their pick a box. I would like to acknowledge the wonderful help we receive from people who help make the running the Show possible. The Yarriambiack Shire, The Turf Club for use of their facilities. To all our sponsors and those that advertise in our schedule. To the many volunteers that help out on Show day. To the district community who support us. This event could not happen without them. My thanks to our hard working Committee, our Treasurer, Jean Wise, Vice Presidents Cameron Drage and Kevin Zanker and a specially big thank you to our Secretary Judi. I am again looking forward to a successful Show and keep our Show as one of the best one day Shows in the region. President D.K. James PAST PRESIDENTS 1886 Geo. Bell 1921-1922 F.
