SPRING is in full bloom, and so is the excitement for the Shepparton Show! The 148th annual Shepparton Agricultural Show is back on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12, bringing two days of thrilling entertainment for the whole family. You won’t want to miss the sky lighting at 9pm on Saturday night, courtesy of Southern Cross Pyrotechnics.
This year’s Shepparton Show is pulling out all the stops with free entertainment sure to dazzle and delight, including Warren Brophy’s Outdoor Circus and Globe of Death, roving performers like The Great Gizmo and No Bull Drummers providing fun and games for kids of all ages, and Lachie Cossor & The Outback Stockman Show, described as ‘orchestrated chaos,’ this show combines horsemanship, working dogs, and audience participation with a hearty dose of humour.
Youngsters (and those young at heart) will be delighted by the animal nursery, supplied by Hannah’s Homestead and Aussie Farm Animals, and the chance to enjoy free camel rides! Plus, Sideshow Alley, brought to you by the Victorian Showmen’s Guild, guarantees all the carnival thrills, from games to exciting rides.
For those keen on exploring the creative side of the region, check out community displays from the Australian Native Society, Rural Health’s Teddy Bear Hospital, and demonstrations from the GV Sewing Centre, showcasing Brother sewing machines and more. And of course, no show would be complete without a taste of CWA scones!
And it wouldn’t be an agricultural show without animals! This year’s lineup includes everything from Miniature Horses and Dairy Cattle to Boer Goats, Championship Dog Shows, and an exciting wood chop demonstration.
