It’s show time!
A steady flow of entries and interest in this year’s exhibition section of the Warragul Show is setting the scene for another strong display of flowers, produce, cookery, art and craft.
The exhibition section will be a diverse spread of classes catering for all age groups from students to aged care facilities and people with special needs.
Sixteen 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 well supported sections of the show, featuring more than 40 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.
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 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.
