The 171st Castlemaine & District Agricultural Show once again delighted crowds at the Camp Reserve last Friday and Saturday.
After a late start to due to some hold ups with road closures the beloved show parade got underway with the Castlemaine Highland Pipe Band proudly led parade entrants to the Camp Reserve.
Among the parade entries were the Mt Alexander Knitting Nannas, the YIMBY composting crew, Castlemaine Scouts and Guides, Windarring, Busy Bees Childcare, Campbells Creek Primary School and Guildford Campus with a fantastic halloween entry, local emergency service personnel, local trucking companies and members of our local classic car and hot rod community just to name a few.
At the showgrounds perfect conditions greeted show-goers who enjoyed the rides, sideshows and carnival festivities, the excitement of the Midland Axeman’s Association woodchop, and the wonderful pavilion displays with everything from fleece to flowers and art and craft to cookery on show.
The evening was capped off with a stunning fireworks display.
On Saturday, the fun continued with show day events and displays, including free creative activities for the kids with the team from ‘Fural’ and the Grubby Boots Animal Farm.
