The Forbes Show is once again planning two great family days out with all your favourite activities returning.

Last year’s Show suffered with extreme wet weather and many rural properties isolated by flooding.

President Doug Nadin is looking forward to welcoming the community to a bigger, better event this year.

There’ll be sideshow alley, horse ring events, dog show, car and ute show and shine, the shearing competition.

The grand parade will show off our best stock, Miss Showgirl 2017 will be sashed and it will all wrap up with a spectacular fireworks display once again.

Now is the time to plan your participation, with competitions ranging from Lego to poultry, fine arts and flowers to junior judging.

Showgirl application packages available to pick up from the Advocate office or Show Office or by contacting Casey Macguire or Susan Earl on 68521311.

There will be an information night for any interested girls on Thursday 17th August at the RSL at 7pm. All are welcome!

Local farmers are invited to be part of the farmers challenge this year: teams of four are needed for the competition to be run at 6pm Friday. Entry is free and you’re promised a fun contest.

Ride tickets savings are available again this year! You can get $30 worth of tickets for $25 when you pre-purchase.

This offer is available through August only and they can be purchased from the Show Office or the Glass Menagerie.
