With the Yarrawonga Show just a few weeks away, it’s time to get busy in the kitchen or in the shed and prepare your competition entry.

If you consider yourself a master chef, or you want to keep the kids busy during school holidays, then take up the challenge and enter the various cooking and craft competitions on offer.

The cooking and home products categories range from a variety of cakes, scones, biscuits, to jams and relishes. The craft competitions offer something for all ages, from Lego creations, knitting, art to photography.

This year’s show will be held during the last few days of school holidays, on Friday, October 3, and Saturday, October 4.

Returning favourites include the Wild Action Zoo, along with the Old Kentucky Animal Nursery, Dane the Magician, and the Distinctive Melbourne Carriages with their horse-drawn carriage rides. This year also marks the 60th anniversary of the Yarrawonga Lions Club Wool Show.

The show committee will host the Horse Rings 1, 2 and 3 on Saturday, September 27, followed by Pony Club plus Fun Rings and showjumping at the show on Saturday, October 4.

You could be the next show ambassador

The show committee is welcoming nominations for the Junior Show and Rural Ambassadors.

The ambassador awards program engages young show enthusiasts to showcase their involvement across their local communities.

The Rural Ambassador Award is open to ambassadors aged between 20 and under 30 years and the Junior Show Ambassador is open to ambassadors aged between 16 and 19 years.

In the previous 12 months, the Yarrawonga Mulwala Agricultural Show was represented by Elizabeth McNamara as the Junior Show Ambassador, who made it through to be a state finalist.

Ms McNamara’s involvement in the Yarrawonga Show started from a young age, mainly through entering her work in the arts and crafts, which she has a passion for. She is currently completing year 12 and shows excellence in her education, receiving the Year 11 Dux last year.
