The Shepparton Show returns this October, Friday 11 and Saturday 12 for two days of fun and excitement, including the spectacular fireworks show at 9pm Saturday by Southern Cross Pyrotechnics.

This year’s free entertainment includes:

Warren Brophy’s Outdoor Circus and the Globe of Death.

Lachie Cossor & The Outback Stockman Show -the show has been described as ‘orchestrated chaos.’ It is a fun show with some horsemanship, working dogs and crowd participation, it’s educational with a comedy spin on it. The show features several animals including horses, ponies, dogs, pigs, a goat and an over-sized bull.

Lachie is a singer/songwriter with many years of experience in performing from big bands to solo shows. At some venues he has been known to play and sing on the back of a bullock or horse which is a great drawcard. His debut album Rollin, has been very successful. “I was lucky enough to win the 2017 Aristocrat Entertainer of the Year People’s Choice award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Stan Coster Award in 2022,” said Lachie.
