St Arnaud hosts sensational sunny show day
Saturday provided what organisers say was one of the best turn outs they have had for a long time, with gate numbers being up on years past.
THE SUN shined down on what was a ripper on the first day of the St Arnaud Agricultural Show.
Saturday provided what organisers say was one of the best turn outs they have had for a long time, with gate numbers being up on years past.
“We still have such a strong committee compared to others in the area,” committee member Annette Driscoll said.
“We’ve spent years competing with events like the Horsham Show and Deni Ute Muster but this is one of our best year for rides.
“It’s days like these that give you the warm fuzzies.”
It was a family-friendly day, with something there for everyone.
Lord Nelson Park was filled with laughter as children enjoyed high-flying rides, an abundance of food from across the world and of course - showbags.
Parents watched as their little ones took a turn on the tea cup ride or fished for ducks to win a prize.
But there was also plenty of competition with the Sports Shear, horse events and the much-anticipated dog show.
There were new little ladies and gentlemen crowned Miss and Master Tiny Tots too, as well as new Show Ambassadors.
The pavilion was also filled with show entries, from quilts and needle work, paintings and LEGO sculptures, photographs to cakes and slices, roses and succulants and vegetables as far as the eye could see.
There was plenty of excitement as children showed off their first and second place ribbons to family members.
Emergency Services were out in force helping youngsters learn about community safety.
