Grace is involved in Forbes Show Society and CWA Evening Branch, as well as the Mater Aged Care service.
Wauchope’s Nikki Gibbs took out the 2018 The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl title.
The senior veterinary nurse is the fourth generation member of her family to be involved in her local show society and said she was exhilarated by the win.
“I am extremely humbled I really wasn’t expecting this,” she said.
“The week has been incredible.”
Nikki has been on her local show board for two years, but her family history goes much further back.
Her great grandfather was the ring master and her great grandmother was the president of the Ladies Auxiliary Hall.
Her nan is now the vice president of the Ladies Auxiliary and her pop runs the campdraft.
Her mum is stepping up into the ringmaster position and Nikki herself is now director on the show society board.
Runner up title went to Quirindi’s Pollyanna Easey.
Pollyanna is a physiotherapy student at the University of Newcastle as well as being an accomplished horse rider who participates in her local pony club.
She often volunteers with her local show as a steward for the Showgirls and the Young Farmer Challenge.
