The Sunbury Agriculture Show has returned following its 100th birthday last year, and organisers are planning to take the show to new heights this year.
The show will be held at Clarke Oval on October 14, and will include family friendly entertainment, live music, performances, carnival games and street food.
Pavilion steward Sandie Braun said last year’s show was a special celebration with about 15,000 people in attendance.
“[Last year] during the whole day and evening we had a large crowd and even into the evening the grounds were humming,” Ms Braun said.
“We estimate our total attendance could have been around the 15,000 mark and we would love to see the same numbers this year, although there will be no evening show and no fireworks.”
The show invites unique and innovative stalls and vendors to get involved, and Ms Braun said there are no barriers to volunteering at the show.
“Anybody who is interested in helping us will be very welcome, and all ages are included.
“Some of our volunteers have been helping… since they were about ten years old, and we also have several who are in their 80s.”
Show secretary Narelle Reino said some of the highlights include battle of the school choirs with eight schools, and young ambassador competitions.
“[There will be] dog high jump and small dog dash, pet parade, local dance schools and singing schools, First Nation arts and crafts, sheep shearing demonstration, horse events, carnival and show bags, camel rides and more.”
Anyone who is interested in volunteering or in a stall or vendor space should contact the show.
