Meeting up for show fun

THE Pakenham Show was a colourful display of country life on Saturday.
The show was opened by long-time show contributor and Victorian Agricultural Shows president Bob Johnson who thanked organisers and the exhibitors who made the event such a success.
Mr Johnson said he was very impressed with the quality of exhibits.
“Agricultural shows are a very important part of the community, they provide wonderful entertainment and a family day out and showcase the rural industry in and around the district.
“In times of drought, agricultural shows provide a forum for people to get together and have a bit of a natter about the weather. It’s a good day out,” he said.
