Gallery | Kyabram Show shines for another year

By noon, you could hear the hustle and bustle of the show from the west end of Allan St, with the street packed with cars and more people wading in through the front gates guarded by the friendly Lions Club members.

It was a stroke of luck that the event was not impeded by the downpour of rain on the previous day. In fact, the weather was a pleasant tepid temperature, perfect for the little ones and the animals who were busy in competition by noon.

Secretary Filipa Marshall could not be happier with how the day turned out; from the pavilion entries to the agriculture competitions and the beautiful weather.

“The weather was magic compared to the day before, I was standing there almost wanting to cry seeing the storms blow through on Friday,” Mrs Marshall said.

“It was very good, we had a lot of entries into every category ... the cattle section was well-supported, a lot of horses came because of other cancelled events, and we had 403 dog entries this year,” she said.

Mrs Marshall expressed particular pride in the animal nursery, featuring an adorable array of puppies, chicks, kids (baby goats), and other young animals.

She said it was rewarding to see children “with wonder in their eyes” at the animals around them.

Mrs Marshall expressed that none of this would have been possible without the incredible committee who have been working behind the scenes to make the day a reality.

“It’s like that saying ‘teamwork makes the dreamwork’ ... we are only a little committee and the way we just pulled everything together — I am incredibly proud.”

Journalist Jemma Jones captured a few moments from this year’s Kyabram Agricultural Show.
