Put Saturday 13 September in your diary, it's the date of the 149th Forbes Show.

Our volunteer show committee is at work, preparing another great day of family fun and entertainment.

They're locking in the entertainment and rides, readying the schedule, booking in the animal nursery and the fireworks as they prepare to bring us another great day, says president Wayne Downes.

The one-day show format introduced in 2024 is back in 2025, with plenty on.

That means it's time to start thinking about those entries - make a start on that painting, new crochet pattern or LEGO project.

Everyone's entries make the Show what it is, with interest from the school art pavilion through the commercial pavilion, the decorated cakes, handicrafts and flowers.

If you'd like to be involved in this year's show the committee would love to welcome more volunteers along.

With the diversity of the exhibits at the show there really is something for everyone.

They also have sponsorship opportunities available.
