Country Sunbury on show

Entries into the Sunbury Show are open now.

Ahead of show day on Saturday, October 11, the Sunbury Agricultural Society is opening up entries for the show pavilion, with a special addition this year.

“The classes are free for the exhibitors, which means you can put in your cakes, your preserves, arts, craft, sowing, poultry,” Sunbury Agricultural Society president Narelle Reino said.

“The kids can enter the pet parade, even the horses, the classes are free this year, which has never happened … it is just trying to get people back to have an amazing day out and have fun.”

This year, the society wants to keep that country charm within the Sunbury community, and hopes to have lots of people exhibiting through animals to cakemakers.

“It’s important to honour the agricultural heritage of Sunbury and the surrounding areas because we are losing that a bit now with development and how everything’s progressing and changing, and we just want to have a touch of that in our how to remind people that’s where we’re from,” Sunbury Agricultural Society president Kate George said.

“We’re trying to do our best to make it a really great day for everyone who comes along.”

Ms Reino said entries will be open online until October 8, and on October 1, anyone struggling with the online process can head down to the Sunbury Social Club from 6.30pm to 8pm with people available to help you navigate the process.
