THE grand finale of Charlton’s monster fortnight is set to bring in crowds at this weekend’s show.
The 142nd Charlton Show promises a day full of good food, music and a few new additions to the run sheet.
“For the first time we’ll have a Stockman’s Challenge and Jye Roberts will be hosting a Boot Hurl competition,” Charlton A&P Society secretary Wendy Laffin said.
Run by Jye Roberts, the hurl will replace the Sheaf Toss and is set to be a lot of fun for competitors of all ages
“Of course there’s going to be all the usual pavilion entries, food vans, distillaries and drinks coming from all over, sheep dog trials and more, all that you could want at a show,” Mrs Laffin said.
“We will even have live music from Danielle Simonsen, who has performed at Tamworth.”
There’s plenty of fun for everyone of all ages with a range of rides and showbags, different stalls to sell their goods, emergency services and more.
Mrs Laffin said it was great to see their show going strong even when others in the region aren’t anymore.
“It’s all thanks to the hard work of the committee,” she said.
“You just come together and hope it just keeps working.
“I think it’s just got stronger and bigger. We’ve got a lot of young people now which is great.”
Mrs Laffin said organisers hoped for a great day all-round - plus some good weather. “I think it’s good for the community all to get together,” Mrs Laffin said. this week.
The show is on this Saturday from 11.30am until late.
