This weekend’s Forbes Show will be an extravaganza of great local produce, livestock exhibits and entertainment thanks to a $43,000 investment from the NSW Government.
With pet shows, a mullet competition, ute barrel racing and yard dog trials, it promises to have something for everyone in the community to enjoy.
There will also be free face painting and a balloonist, and of course the main attraction for many, the show rides. One of the highlights of the show, the fireworks display, is on at 8pm tonight (Friday).
The horse events had to be cancelled unfortunately because the grounds are too wet and dangerous, but the show jumping has been moved to 8th and 9th October. The carpark for the show on Forester St has also been closed due to wet conditions.
The NSW Government’s Country Shows Support Package will help to upgrade show facilities where exhibits of local produce, art and craft and floral arrangements are housed.
The additional space will allow exhibitors to display their handywork and connect with visitors while they focus on collecting the points needed for the 2023 Royal Easter Show.
