With the weather starting to warm up and a small amount of rain falling around the region over the past few weeks, conditions are perfect for the 143rd Annual Forbes Show. With humble origins as far back as sheepdog trials in 1872 and exhibitions staged in a Rankin Street shop in 1873, the show has continued to grow and thrill crowds for over a century. The Forbes PA&H Association holds their show over two days in September every year and have been hard at work over the past twelve months getting another exciting and entertaining show ready.
