The 155th Kingston Agricultural Show is on Saturday 30 November. It will be held amongst the elm trees and in front of the heritage listed grandstand. The Kingston Show aims to provide good family fun, children under 6 are free and gate entry for adults is $10.
President Fraser Hutchison said “we are excited that this year Kingston hosts the State Final of the Dog High Jump along with working yard dogs which includes Australian champion trainers and dogs”.
A major attraction this year is the Fizzics shows which present amazing and fun science to everyone.
Throw a gumboot, visit the poultry and pat a chook, inspect the goats and watch the heavy horses and harness horses competing. The sheep will be there and so will the Creswick Brass Band.
The recently updated pavilion hosts children’s Arts and Crafts as well as new cookery classes.
The Rich Fruit Cake and Carrot Cake winners will qualify for the Midland championship. Children can decorate a plate of 4 cupcakes.
If you have weeds and who doesn’t? enter the weed competition, put them in a bucket and bring them into the pavilion by 9:30 on Saturday – it’s free. Raid your pantry and place the preserves, jams, chutneys, eggs, honey or anything you have produced or grown in a basket and enter the Produce Competition for a great prize.
Watch the Rural Schools Challenge for primary school teams of five. This will test their rural knowledge, problem solving ability along with fun physical team challenges.
Free parking is available on the grounds. On the next day Sunday December 1, horse competitions and working yard dogs continue. Entry on Sunday is free for spectators.
