Port Fairy Show this weekend
FOR a fun, family day out this weekend make sure you head to the Port Fairy Show.
All the colour, excitement, entertainment and animals of a traditional country show will be found at the showgrounds tomorrow (Saturday).
The event’s small but dedicated committee has been working hard over recent months to ensure this year’s event offers something for everyone.
Once again there’ll be a great display of cooking, needlecraft, art, photography, horticulture and produce honey to browse.
This year will also see a sheep shearing display, vintage engines, yard dog demonstrations and an interactive science experience ‘Fizzics Education’ which will offer workshops throughout the day.
An interactive Planks activity will give children the opportunity to use their imaginations and skills, and they can also test their circus skills while learning some popular tricks.
A petting zoo will no doubt prove a big winner among some of the littlest showgoers, while mini-golf, blacksmith demonstrations, a wicked wildlife display and afternoon carriage rides will ensure crowds are well entertained.
And you certainly won’t leave hungry, with ample food stalls serving up some delicious treats – and Devonshire teas available in the dining room thanks to members of the Show Society.
Gates will open at 9am, with the show scheduled to close around 4pm.
Entry is just $10 for adults, children (5-15 years) $5 or $25 for a family (two adults and three children).
Children under the age of five will be admitted free.
The Port Fairy Showgrounds can be found on Hamilton-Port Fairy Road.
