Three day program planned for show
A three day show program for this weekend’s Warragul Show will feature a show eve carnival on Friday night, traditional show activities on Saturday, a carnival on Saturday night and a horse program on Sunday.
Organisers have decided to expand the show program to give show patrons the choice of two carnival nights with all their favourite carnival rides, entertainment, activities, show bags and food options.
The Warragul Show will be a showcase of the district’s agricultural strengths while also providing carnival entertainment for families.
Organisers are hoping for fine weather and well-behaved crowds to make this year another successful local event.
There will be entertainment for everyone on Saturday with KC’s School of Dance performing and the Morwell Caledonian Pipe Band. The activities on offer include: Camel rides between noon and 2pm and 3pm and 6pm near the main gate.
