Have you got a particularly handsome chook? Can you bake up a storm? How’s your crop of rhubarb looking?

Well, gear up and get ready to enter them into the 100th Sunbury Agricultural Show on Saturday, October 8, finally celebrating its century after lockdown pushed the event back two years.

Show secretary Anne Beaty said the show was for everyone in the community to come together and showcase the best of what they do.

“You might not ride a horse, you might not have a sheep to come and show but you might have a couple of chooks in the backyard that lay quite even eggs,” she said.

“You can put in a half dozen eggs, you might be a gardener, you can bring in some of your produce… and have it judged.”

Just for the entry fee, enjoy camel and pony rides and a wild action zoo. There might even be fireworks on the cards.

“There’s things for all ages to do there,” Ms Beaty said.
