"There is a junior Ninja Warrior course and this year we are looking forward to welcoming Sheaf tossing experts the Kilted Warriors."
Sheaf Tossing is a traditional agricultural sport that originated in Scotland involving a pitchfork to hurl a wheat bag weighing about ten kilos over a horizontal bar above the competitor's head.
"Sheaf Tossing took place at the Morongla Show back in the 1920s, 30s and 40s," David said.
"We look forward to resurrecting this traditional event whilst also enjoying all the new and exciting events that the show has to offer."
The Morongla Show committee is made up entirely of those on the land, and at a time when things are a little tougher than usual, the Show means even more to everyone involved.

The 100th Birthday is a time for everyone to come together and celebrate the future and years gone by. Fred Pearson, President of the Show from 2001-2008 says the Morongla Show has always been a time for the community to come together.
"It is always important for farming families to come together and have some fun, but especially important this year to celebrate our 100th birthday," Fred said.
The Morongla Show takes place this Monday, October 7.
