The escalating COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancellation of this year’s Wee Waa Show, which was due to be held August 27 to 29.

The show society made the difficult decision at a meeting held on August 5 and released the following statement: “We feel that in the safety of our committee, volunteers and broader community we have no option but to cancel the 2021 show.

“The Wee Waa Show has a long and distinguished history and is an event, which many in our local community hold dear. This decision to cancel was not taken lightly, with the current lockdowns coming closer to our community – it is the safest option. We wish to thank all our sponsors and supporters of our show for their ongoing support.

“Having held our Showgirl judging earlier in July, we will be working on the announcement of our junior and senior Showgirls, with our senior Showgirl then going onto represent at the District Zone finals to be held here in Wee Waa in February 2022.

“It has been an incredibly tough time over the last few years with the impact of drought in our area.

“This is yet another setback however, we are a resilient and resourceful bunch of people in the Wee Waa Show Society and the support of our members and our local community we will bounce back with a bigger and better Wee Waa Show in 2022.”
