From the music that kicks off at 10am to the rides, raffle and auction, show ‘n shine and miniature models, the event will be a hive of activity.
The official opening will take place at 12.30pm with speeches from Murrindindi Shire Council chief executive officer Livia Bonazzi and show president Ayden Embling.
Committee member Andrew Embling said between 80 and 90 items would be up for grabs at the auction, including clothing, sunnies, Blundstone boots, truck merchandise and car tyres.
There will also be plenty of equipment such as spray tanks, gates, Eskies, Ampol racing team merchandise and, in perfect timing as we head into winter, a trailer of firewood offered.
The auction will take place at 2pm at the main stage.
At 3.45pm the raffle will be drawn, with a $1500 first prize made up of a $1000 Foodworks voucher and a $500 Ampol fuel voucher. Second prize is a $500 Ampol fuel voucher and third prize a Blundstone boot voucher from Embling Rural.
Tickets are $5 and will be on sale on the day at different spots around the show or next to the main stage.
Sideshow alley is back again with the show bag factory, dodgem cars, bungee and a range of rides to suit all ages.
As well as around 20 trade stalls, all Alexandra’s shops and cafes will be open.
“There will also be the CWA, Lions and a range of other community and service groups offering a range of food and drinks,” Andrew said.
“We know there are people coming from Brisbane, Adelaide — all over — it’s all shaping up to be an amazing event.”
