It’s nearly showtime in Wee Waa and the society’s committee has been hard at work, holding a working bee with community volunteers at the showground on the weekend and collecting amazing community exhibits and entries ahead of opening this Friday, August 26.
This weekend marks the return of the much-loved Wee Waa Show following the previous two COVID-affected years.
“The organisation of this event is a huge undertaking, and I must personally thank each and every one of our volunteers,” said Wee Waa Show Society president Gary Hibbens.
“Our small committee has been working hard behind the scenes to bring our show together.”
The Wee Waa Show is one of the district’s most popular events, and it’s set to be bigger and better than ever with a range of activities and amusements for people of all ages.
Member for Parkes Mark Coulton will open the show, and the winners of the Young Woman of the Year competition will be announced on Friday night.
This will be followed by an action-packed schedule including fireworks, live music and the cross-cut saw contest.
This year’s theme is ‘Life in the Bush’, and the Wee Waa Show Society is encouraging locals to invite their friends and family, from near and far, to the Cotton Capital for the spectacular event.
New and traditional sections are on the show’s schedule: a crowd-favourite is the lolly drop from the skies, Friday night fireworks, live music, the long-awaited return of the dog high jump, baby show, princess workshop, bush animal hunt, Show and Shine car displays, CGS’ Farmer’s Challenge, woodchopping and more, with prize money up for grabs too.
Wee Waa Show Society has also developed a new website to make it easy for locals and tourists to have a sneak peek at the program and events.
