THE 134th Mansfield Show is set to return on Saturday, November 18, bigger and better than ever following a three-year break to present a genuine country event for all, according to Mansfield A&P Society president Amanda Swaney.

“We appreciate the wonderful support of everyone involved and especially look forward to welcoming our new families who have moved to the area who will get to experience a fun quintessential country event,” Ms Swaney said.

“This year’s theme for the show is a 'Celebration of the Horse' and it is good timing with the installation of the horse sculpture in the main street donated by Margie and Will Twycross,” she said.

Attractions at this year’s show include a whip-cracking display by Mansfield’s Stuart Byrant and his two young sons and a new event = the “Wazzacow” - which involves cutting out a mechanical cow while on a ride-on mower.

Reptile Encounters will also be presenting a fascinating insight into our native creatures with an interactive show.

As usual the pavilion will be filled to overflowing with entries in various sections including cookery, photography, needlework, art, fleeces and fresh produce.

Mrs Swaney said the 2023 show schedule and the horse program will be available shortly.
