Plans well in place for Myrtleford Show

Organisers have plans well in hand for an even bigger and better Myrtleford and District Agricultural and Pastoral Society Show than last year.

The competition schedule has been finalised and is now available to view on the website and around town in print form, with categories ranging from horticulture to photography, livestock best in show to needlework and crafts.

“Preparations for this year's show (October 25) are going very well so far," Myrtleford Show committee president Debbie Geddes said.

"All the entertainment has been booked in and we’re just looking forward to having a great day with great weather.

“In terms of new attractions, this year we’re going to have Cam Sinclair perform with their motorbike group doing tricks and we’ve brought back horse-jumping.

"We've also introduced a new section in our exhibition - arts and crafts for NDIS and senior citizens to enter.

"We still have wood cutting events, two whip-cracking ladies and of course our fireworks are on again for evening entertainment.

"The Albury-Wodonga Fruit Fly Circus are also lined up to do demonstrations and run some workshops for people to have a go.

"There will be live music, lots of free roaming entertainment and performers and plenty of food stalls.

"We heartily encourage people to enter into as many of our competitions as they like...that would be fantastic.

"There will be plenty of exhibits and plenty to see and do with a full program for this year."

Entry prices for the Myrtleford Show remain the same as last year - a family pass (two adults, two children) costs $40, adults over 18 years cost $20, children over five years cost $10, while children under five enter for free and concession tickets are $10.

"We’ve not increased our gate-prices at all," Ms Geddies said.

"We're trying to keep the cost of admission feasible for families so everyone is able to come along."

The Myrtleford Indoor Sports Stadium will host Opening Night on Friday, 24 October, to announce the art prize winners, while Saturday, 25 October will be the full show day, open from 9am to 9pm.

Due to the show's different competition categories, entrants are encouraged to take note of entry dates and delivery times when they register online.
