THE Euroa Agricultural Show returns this weekend, bringing together our community for a fun-filled celebration of rural life, local displays, and exciting entertainment.

This year’s show is packed with events, including the 2024 CopRice Victoria Yard Dog Championship, which will take place in the Euroa Off-Leash Dog Park area from Friday, October 25 through to Sunday, October 27.

The horse section events too will continue to run on Sunday 27.

Friday evening kicks off the weekend with the second annual Euroa Speed Shear for a Cause event.

After a successful debut last year, this event returns to raise funds for Beyond Blue, supporting mental health in rural communities.

On the main show day, Saturday, October 26, the showgrounds will come alive with a variety of activities.

Expect to see everything from livestock displays and extensive pavilion exhibitions to shearing competitions and horse events.

The day promises something for the whole family, including sideshows, rides, show bags, food, live entertainment, and a wide range of trade stalls.

At 11.45 am, Tahbilk local farmer Tom Boyer, a recent participant in the "Farmer Wants a Wife" TV series, will officially open the show, alongside Lyndal Dean, president of the Euroa Agricultural Society.

Throughout the day, enjoy entertainment from Stewart Bryant’s whip cracking shows, Black Snake Productions’ interactive wildlife presentations, Whitey’s ferret racing and live music from local man Jimmy Davidson.

There will also be an animal nursery for our younger patrons.
