THE FUN continued into the night at the 142nd Charlton Show on Saturday evening.

It was a day (and then some) of hard work that lead to a fabulous show at Charlton Park.

Laughter filled the air as children dragged their parents and friends to the dodgem cars, carnival games, and of course the show bag stand.

After filling up on fairy floss and whatever other sweet treat they could find, there was room for delicious food like baked potatoes, pizza and dumplings.

After all that, it was time for the show pavilion to open and families could hurry through, looking to see if their name appeared on a red or blue card.

From cakes to preserves, florals to patchwork, talents were on full display as people like Francis Stahl took home a number of wins.

But she doesn’t do it for that.

“You do it because you love it,” she said.

“I just see what I’ve made that week and what’s good enough and enter it.”

New to the show was the Boot Hurl, where Jye Roberts instructed competitors great and small to see how far they could do just that.
