By BEN LITCHFIELD, NIMMITABEL SHOW PRESIDENT

THE Nimmitabel Show returns again this year with the committee and community working hard on a full program of events.

This year, we will have entertainment from Australian country music star, Amber Lawrence, to keep the crowd entertained. Amber will start her performances from 3.30pm with a children’s show before her first show at 6pm. This will be a great part of the show.

All our various sections will be up and running, with displays of produce, competitions and exhibits.

Our pavilion will be a busy centre of our show with all the favourite displays - flowers, fruit and vegetables, cooking, craft, needlework, photography, wood and stalls.

Outside the pavilion, the ring and the horse section will be in full swing.

The yard dogs will be in action for their competition, the shearing will be operating, and the chainsaws will also be a great event to see.

The show committee is anticipating the shearing competition to be very popular. Last year’s competition drew a strong field and had plenty of spectators.

The chainsaw racing will also be held as one of the show’s popular outside events. This section is always a crowd-pleaser with the noise and excitement of the competition delivering great audience entertainment.

Displays around the ground will be operating with the historic machinery and the side show amusements for the youngsters.

The livestock pavilions will be in full swing, showcasing the best of the district’s sheep and cattle. There will also be the young judging competition during the day.

The Nimmitabel district has always been proud of its show and we look forward to the wider community of the Monaro and the coast, and those further afield, coming to experience and enjoy a fantastic Nimmitabel Show. It’s a true country show.

Thank you to our hard working committee for all their efforts in preparing what will be another terrific Nimmitabel Show. See you at the show on Saturday February 1.
