This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Whittlesea Agricultural Society. In 1859 the first show presented farmers from the Plenty Valley region to showcase fruits of their labour. Spanning three days the upcoming show will present an unforgettable show that will show a glimpse of the past. Activities will include showjumping, horse classes, a full bullock team will drive through the centre of the township, historical photographic display, working displays of antique farm machinery and vintage cars. Grand Parade, Miss Show Girl competition, educational displays, woodchop, farm and garden produce and more.
Friday November 6 - Sunday November 8 2009
This event is supported by the Whittlesea Heritage Program.
