Diverse spread in exhibition classes
The exhibition section at this year’s Warragul Show will be a diverse spread of classes catering for all age groups from students to aged care facilities and people with special needs.
New classes introduced to the exhibition section last year for aged care facility residents were well supported and return to the program this year.
Fourteen classes are included in the schedule to give aged care residents an opportunity to submit their knitted and crocheted items for judging. The section also includes classes for coat hangers, Christmas decorations, handmade cards, jewellery, beadwork and art work.
Scrapbooking, handmade cards and parchment craft classes continue to be a well supported section of the show, featuring 44 classes for people to enter, showing the increasing trend of this craft in the community.
The Exhibition Hall has become a showcase of quality entries from across the district, with a student exhibitors growing in numbers each year.
As in past years, strong entries have already flowed in for the exhibition section.
The Exhibition Hall is always one of the show’s great features and this year’s variety of classes will be supported by a large number of exhibitors.
The hall is again expected to be transformed into a display of the region’s best.
One of the main features each year is the photographic section.
The plain and fancy needlework classes are always popular and provide a great display of skill and work.
From home grown fruits, vegetables and flowers to creative arts and crafts, the Exhibition Hall will be full of interesting displays.
The focus on encouraging younger exhibitors also will continue with a wide variety of classes available for students including fruit and vegetables, flowers and cooking as well as scrapbooking, craft, mosaic, computer art, Lego and paper plate masks.
School participation continues to be encouraged by organisers, who continue to welcome new schools taking part in the display.
The interest from younger people through the schools’ section in past years has also resulted in a number of individual entries from children this year.
The popularity of introducing a junior photography section also resulted in an increased number of entries in this section for the year.
The junior photography classes will cater for entries in two age groups - under nine years old and 10 to 18-year-olds.
Classes for people with a disability also are included in the schedule with the sections including vegetables, cakes, needlework, arts and crafts and photography for all ages.
The Exhibition Hall will be transformed to feature a display of community handicrafts, photography, arts and crafts, hobbies, cooking displays, general and farm produce, flowers and other various sections.
The Exhibition Hall will be open from 9am to 8pm on Saturday. Exhibitors will be able to collect their items from the hall between 8.15pm and 9pm on Saturday night or 9am to 1pm on Sunday. Please enter through front door to collect items.
