JAKE WHITAKER Stunt Show,

Jake will put on a spectacular display
on both his Gas Gas sponsored Moto Trials bike
and Enduro dirtbike.
Watch him perform heart stopping gap jumps,
wheelies and stoppies; see how he man handles
the bikes to manoeuvre them over and around
obstacles; and watch him play around and jump
the commentator.
This style of riding requires fine throttle, balance,
and machine control and is not for the faint
hearted.
Jake and Jane where at the 2024 show and we are excited to have them back this year.

Poultry Show - Egg Exhibits

Again for this year, the poultry show will have Staged or Displayed Egg classes! It is about the arty creative setting of the eggs. The eggs may be plain or decorated, but the entry is judged on creativity of the Setting or Display of the eggs. Entry may include up to 6 eggs. Great way to get into showing or just for fun. More information can be found on the schedule or contact www.centraldistrictspoultry.com

Quessant Sheep

This year we are excited to have New Zealand's newest breed of sheep on display, Quessants, from an Island near France. They are one of the smallest sheep breeds in the world, renowned for their petite size. They will be displayed by the Sheep Section
