After two years of a show drought, excitement is building for this year’s Parkes Show from Monday to Wednesday next week. Show enthusiasts can expect the best of local produce, livestock and all their favourite entertainment.
The traditional fireworks display is set for Tuesday at 7:15pm, while the favourite demolition derby will be on Wednesday at 7:30pm preceded by ute barrel racing at 6pm.
Apart from all the fun and excitement of the show rides and show bags, the kids can also look forward to the animal nursery, Troppo Bob and the WOW Dinosaur and Reptile display.
There will be some changes to the showgrounds this year as the new pavilion is still under construction. This means the displays of local produce, art and craft and floral arrangements will move to the industrial pavilion across the road, while the schools and stall holders will be housed in tents around the showgrounds.
The luncheon room will be run by Meals on Wheels this year, and in the arena there will be show jumping and Airtime FMX will be back with their bikes and breathtaking aerial tricks for several shows over the three days.
In other good news for the Parkes Show Society was an announcement this week from Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farraway of a $42,000 investment in the show from the NSW Government after a tough few years. “The show must go on and these grants are helping make that happen.”
The full show program is available on The Parkes Show facebook page and website. Tickets can be bought at www.123tix.com.au.
