The Deloraine & Districts Community Banks Deloraine Show is 70 years strong and still providing a great day out with its winning formula of a fun, diverse and safe family outing. This year’s show gears up on 19th November.

Featured will be a sheep shearing display, an interactive drum playing show, Keep the Beat, and a wandering Magician out and about delighting the crowd with his tricks.

The ever-popular Animal Nursery returns complete with cute, cuddly fur and feathered babies. The ‘Chilli Fun Zone’ is dedicated to kids’ play, and competitions to Zorb Balls and Belly Bumpers beckon the bigger children.

Ron Morgan’s Horsemanship Demonstrations is back again, along with a Surf Lifesaving display and heavy machinery to look over.

Other old favourites include the Deloraine Big Band, Mini Jeeps and Jumping Castle, a Tug-of-War competition, as well as a Puppet Show and Face Painting.

The Apex Train continues to carry little passengers around the grounds, and the variety of food stalls surrounding the Entertainment Area will satisfy all needs, including that of covered seating.

Its Pet Parade, with loads of prizes to be won, returns to delight the children. See details at your child’s school or on the Deloraine Show Society Facebook page or visit www.deloraineshow.com.au.

Returning too are the traditionally, well supported exhibitions and competitions in the Livestock, Heavy Horse & Home Industries sections, along with Equestrian events in the Main Arena.

The Deloraine & Districts Community Banks Deloraine Show opens at 9.00am with entry Adults $10.00, Children $5.00, and under 5-year-olds free. There is plenty of parking for the Show.
