This year’s Maffra Show features an extended program in addition to the conventional animal exhibits, Arts and Crafts Pavillions, and trade exhibits – The Food and Entertainment Court.
The Food and Entertainment Court, located in the Dome, has live music from 10am to 7pm.
The morning starts with the Maffra Band’s Ukestra group, followed by Vocalist Emily Nock and Aiden Ryan.
From noon to 4pm, Cara Shaefer and the John Gibson Band take the stage, followed by Paul Buchanan’s Voo Doo Preachers till 7pm.
The theme for the Food Court this year is “All Things Dairy”.
“See the latest in modern dairying innovations and opportunities, including robotic milking, a 3D animation of a cow’s rumen and VR headsets for a 360-degree tour of a working dairy, career opportunities in a dairy industry showcasing farm to factory and fabulous dairy products,” organiser Kate Mirans said.
“There is school cooking, dessert for one and smoothie/milkshake making using pedal power competitions. Wacky Wombat roving entertainment, Snakebusters, Woodturners, Pet Parade and Animal Nursery will keep the kids entertained.
“Very excited to have Berry Dairy, a new local business opening up in November at our show offering an ice cream tent. Six local Food Vans, Glenmaggie wines and Sailor’s Grave Brewery will cater for food and drink.
“The Food and Entertainment Court is very appreciative of the Wellington Shire Council’s Community Assistance Grant and sponsorship given by local businesses. Remember, Maffra Show has free entry for children again this year, sponsored by Community Bank Maffra & District.”
