The Whittlesea Show is back for another year with all the favourites set to delight show goers.

One of the big events on the local calendar, the show has something for everyone.

Heritage, sheep and the ever-popular animal nursery will be back and there will also be new competitions to enter, including the pygmy goat obstacle course.

There will be pull tractors to see, toy tractors to drive and a range of free attractions including interactive simulators and an all day circus and a range of skill demonstrations.

This year there will be additional rides, a new look education pavilion and attractions to entertain both young and old.

Whittlesea Agricultural Society president Jayson Munro tries to honour both the show’s history and agriculture in the area, continuing to introduce both subtle and obvious changes with each year.

It’s his first year as president.

“My grandparents lived in Wollert and were always involved in the Whittlesea Show, he said. “I have been involved with the show for about 30 years so it’s just the natural progression.”

Munro said there were plenty of new things around the ground including junior handling, pavillon hunter showbag, drones and all the usual things.

Munro himself quite enjoys cooking and baking and has won a number of prizes

The show is on November 2 and 3 at the Whittlesea Showgrounds.
