Sheafs tossed, utes pushed, gumboots thrown, horses paraded, Clydesdales ‘clopped’, sheep shorn, ribbons worn, bands delighted, puppets thrilled, dogs jumped, flowers impressed, quilts amazed, artwork admired, photos discussed, bars attended, food tempted, smiles beamed, children played, laughter echoed, winners cheered… yes, the 159th Maldon and Baringhup Annual Spring Show was a crowd-pleasing success last Sunday.
Towards the end of the day (at pack-up time), the chap at the main carpark entrance was asked about the gate takings. “Dunno mate, but it felt bigger than last year’s.”
And he was right. Last year, around 450+ people attended.
An initial count indicated more than 650 people attended last Sunday.
High fives all round!
