Parkes Phoenix

You Just Gotta Go!

August 4, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

An action packed program is ready for the Parkes Show headlined by the amazing Showtime FMX team. They are set to dazzle with their mind blowing array of motorbike stunts. The fireworks display is on Tuesday evening, the Demolition Derby on Wednesday evening, and the popular animal nursery, sideshow alley and showbags will all be part of the this year’s Show.

KidsZone will be in operation on Tuesday and Wednesday with a range of free face painting, kite making and entertainment activities. The free mechanical bull ride arena will again be in the machinery area and is a great activity for the whole family. The best riders will compete in the finals on Wednesday evening.

Schedules with all the sections listed are available from the Show Office in Welcome Street or on our website parkesshow.org.au. It is also time to gather your entries. There are lots of sections for the kids in the Arts and Craft, Needlework and Cooking sections.

Our Facebook competition will see one lucky local winning 30 show ride tickets. All you need to do is like and share the Parkes Show Facebook page and tag three friends. Pick up your tickets today from Cunninghams IGA, Byrne Clothing or the Show Office not to miss out on a three-day show pass and to go in the Lucky Draw for one of two $500 open orders, or one of two sets of 30 Show Ride Tickets!
