Pakenham kids showcase agriculture with farm dioramas

Children are learning about the importance of agriculture through the creation of farm dioramas to enter into the Parklea Pakenham Show.

Kids from the Pakenham Library’s STEAM Club have been busy working away on their dioramas, ready to display at the show as part of the Wheels on the Farm theme.

The public can vote on the day by a gold coin donation to nominate their favourite exhibit.

Prizes will be awarded to the Most Popular Voted Exhibit and a Randomly Drawn Public Vote.

Exhibit fee is 50 cents. All proceeds will go to Need for Feed, which backs farmers and rural communities in times of need.

The 2024 Parklea Pakenham and District Agriculture and Horticulture Show is on Saturday 16 March. It will feature rural excellence, marvellous art and craft displays, iconic events and competitions, multi-cultural performances along with new and returning attractions.

Entry is free for all ages, so come on down to the PB Ronald Reserve, on the corner of Henry and John Sreets, Pakenham.
