From November 11-13, the Ballarat Showgrounds will be filled with 100 exciting displays and exhibitions.

Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society president Kerri Gallagher said the community was getting on board, and that she had noticed a real sense of excitement in town.

This year’s show boasts native animals and reptiles, racing pigs, dog jumping, an art competition and local fresh food. 

For kids, there’s a pavilion full of activities, which Ms Gallagher said would be an attraction for the entire family. “Every activity inside the pavilion is free, and there’s even an area for the parents to sit and chill and have a cuppa while the kids run around.”
