As the LPC Trading 150th Young Show approaches, anticipation is mounting in the community. Emma Godsell, President of the Young P & A Association, shared insights into the preparations and highlights of this year's event.

"Preparations for the LPC Trading 150th Young Show are going very well," said Ms Godsell. "Our fantastic committee has put together something for the whole family." This year's show promises an impressive array of attractions, including trucks, cars, motorbikes, working dogs, tractor pull, a full pavilion, cattle, and sheep. "Lots of local entertainment throughout the day," she added.

Attendees can look forward to a petting zoo, rock climbing wall, reptiles, magicians, and much more. Following the success of last year's extended trade space area, these sites are filling up quickly, alongside the pavilion.

One of the major highlights of the show is the fireworks display, which is expected to be a spectacular event in honor of the show's 150th anniversary. "Our fireworks are always a spectacle, and being our 150th Show, they are sure to be a cracking display," Ms Godsell remarked.

This year, the pavilion will feature a unique "Crafts from Yesteryear" display, inviting community members to contribute their vintage crafts. For the first time, the show will include a Bike Show, complementing the popular Car Show and Shine, now in its second year. The Truck Show promises to be bigger and better, and the Main Arena will be open to the public to view these shows, along with the working dogs, woodchop, and trade stalls.

Regarding the ongoing bird flu situation, Ms Godsell assured that the Poultry Committee is closely monitoring the situation. "At this stage, we don't see it being a problem, but will assess it the closer we get to the show," she said.

"There is always something different happening at our great Show every year," Ms Godsell teased. "You will just have to come see for yourself."

Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 22, 2024. Gates open at 9am, with the fireworks display at 8pm. Gate prices are Family $30, Couples $25, Single $15, Concession $10, and Children $5, with no charge for parking.
