Pretty ponies, scream-inducing rides and a doggy dash were high on the list of popular features of Saturday’s Sunbury Agricultural Show.

The 96th show, at the recreation reserve at the weekend, drew big crowds.

Horse and livestock events, poultry shows, an arts pavilion, sideshows and a treasure trail kept many punters happy, while a pet parade and dog races had plenty of fans.

Sunbury Agricultural Society president Anthony McMahon said the combined efforts of the show’s 100 or so volunteers ensured things went off without a hitch.

“Volunteers are indispensable to our town and every other town,” Mr McMahon said.

“They are indeed the silent majority behind every worthwhile thing that happens in this country of ours.”
