Show time is almost here, as hard-working volunteers organise last-minute preparations for the long-awaited Southern Argus 150th Strathalbyn Show.
The show will have something for everyone on the October long weekend.
Sunday’s Horses-In-Action will kick-off the celebrations on October 2 at the Strathalbyn Polo Grounds, followed by Show Day on the Monday public holiday, beginning from 10am.
To mark the milestone anniversary, an official opening of Strathalbyn’s 150th Agricultural Show by Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson, Governor of South Australia, will commence at 12 noon.
Pulling out all the stops, the Show’s wood chopping competition, blacksmith demonstrations and cheese making will return this year, and a full set of entertaining artists will take the main stage from 10am.
Carnival rides, live music, children’s entertainment, livestock exhibits, flower and plant competition including floral art, cookery, preserves, home brews, needlework, art/craft, photography exhibition, fresh produce for sale with local products and trade sites will also feature throughout the day.
Come along and say hello to The Argus team just inside the main entrance gate on Coronation Road and collect a trail bag to assist in the quest for free goodies.
Pre-purchased tickets, which are recommended to avoid missing out, are available online at (www.trybooking.com).
Tickets may also be purchased on Show Day at ticket booths on Ashbourne Road and Coronation Road. Children under five free.
