Call for Show volunteers

The Canowindra Show is fast approaching to return again this year on the fourth Saturday in September, and the show committee are looking for volunteers to help them run several sections. Canowindra Show Secretary Ashley Kemper said they would take anyone who is willing to come along and lend a hand. In particular, Ms Kemper said, they are looking to get their shearing event back up and running this year, a steward for the Young Woman and Rural Ambassador programs, as well as someone who can help with he independent stalls and grounds, and a bar steward. While the bar steward would need an RSA, Ms Kemper said the other volunteers don't need any other qualifications - they just need people to turn up and willing to help. The Canowindra Show did not have the shearing event or woodchop last year, though the woodchop event will be returning again this year. Ms Kemper said after 10 years, this year will see the return of the cattle section, with a young steward who came on board to help run the event. Ms Kemper said this year the cattle will be a smaller event, and most likely focus on dairy cattle as they are quite popular in the region at the moment. If anyone wants to come on board and lend a hand, Ms Kemper said they would more than welcome any help. Ms Kemper said the Show is a really great thing for the community and she would love to see the tradition continue and flow to the younger generations. "It's something that I think we take for granted and if we can get people on board to help us make it bigger and better and continue into the future, that's awesome," Ms Kemper said. The Canowindra Show Committee meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm at the Bowling Club. If anyone wants to volunteer to help at the Canowindra Show, Ms Kemper said they are more than welcome to come down to the monthly meeting or get in touch with any of the committee members.
