Murtoa Agricultural Show Victoria Friday 4 October 2024
Located in the Wimmera is a small town Murtoa with a big community heart. The show day was perfect and children enjoyed the many activities that were designed for them especially the tiny tots. I enjoyed throughout the day drawing cartoon portraits.
A rough start to the day with the weather raining but it soon cleared. Down by the Wimmera River at the east side of the showgrounds that was gifted by the May family in 1915, these buildings of historical significance and maintained. I was located in one of these buildings where shearing competition were held throughout the day as well as judging of goats and sheep, there was numerous activities for the families located at the showgrounds.

Many children had their made products for the various categories such as baking, cake decorating and much, much more. ABC South East Radio was broadcasting during Saturday morning. My cartoon portraits were there and many people had their cartoon sketches to take home.

This is the Eurobodalla show back into full swing after years of Covid and fires that prevented the agricultural shows full potential.
