SATURDAY rain gave way to spectacular Sunday sunshine at the Whittlesea Show, ensuring the town’s showpiece day gave people a memorable day out.
The 167th edition of the event was titled ‘The Greatest Show’ and people voted with their feet, ensuring a great day all round.
While rain left many bogged down on Saturday, a competitive horse jumping competition left onlookers thrilled, with elite skills on display in challenging conditions.
A display with the Mounted Games also left onlookers in awe, as well as plenty of displays throughout the weekend, including cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, artwork and photography.
It was the people’s time to shine later on Saturday, with many invited to participate in egg-and-spoon races, sack races, as well as different running challenges open to kids and adults alike.
A fun dog show was also opened up to the many dogs who were brought along to the Show, with owners bringing along the creative side of things with their furry friends.
As ever, there were plenty of great events which continue to be popular, including the woodchopping section, always a crowd favourite, while a circus act under the big top also proved to be a hit this year.
On Sunday afternoon, the Grand Parade rounded out the Show, bringing together all prize winners, as well as popular attractions from the event.
Classic cars and tractors did a lap of honour alongside the Whittlesea CFA and SES, as well as trucks from sponsor Flintstones.
Horses that participated in the Mounted Games, as well as award winners from the weekend, also took part, while a display involving horses and hounds to start the parade also thrilled.
