THE Delegate P&A Society is celebrating an incredible 116th show in 2025, with a bounty of local produce, livestock and artwork on display, served up with all of the cheerful entertainment that is expected from the Delegate Show.

The show will commence with breakfast being shared between the early starters, with both the ring events and the ever-popular dog trials getting the day’s official program underway.

Of course the horse events will be a highlight of the Delegate Show again this year, and riders throughout the entire region are excited to get into the local ring.

The fabulous Funkhana is part of the jam-packed line up of horse events, with the entire section being re-vamped this year with a series of different events and start times, so be sure to check the details in the show schedule before the action unfolds.

While everyone is encouraged to support the horse events and dog trials, there’ll be lots more to see around the ground, with show-goers encouraged to cast their eyes over the many sheep and cattle being exhibited.

Once again we are set to see plenty of special breeds being judged and fleeces evaluated, while there is some wonderful sponsorship coming in for the junior judging again this year.

Another big highlight will be the dog jumps, with this popular attraction being returned to the show again, thanks to the sponsorship of AgriWest Cooma and Lewis RLA Livestock.

This sees the continuation of the Lewis family tradition of supporting the dog jumps, and it is hoped there will be good entries in all three categories, from the working dogs through to the minis.

Of course the children are always delighted to browse around the animals, but don’t forget that attractions such as the jumping castle, face painting, the barnyard nursery and brand new entertainment from a popular magician will also be parent-savers.

Due to popular demand after previous year’s success, the children will also have the chance to decorate a sheep, or even do-up their pushbike to vie for some great cash prizes, while show-goers of all ages can enjoy the bullock team demonstration.

There’ll also be the billy boiling competition and basketball shoot-out to get stuck into, and everyone loves to have their shot in the guess the weight of the bull contest that will return this year.

Amidst all of the excitement, the 116th annual Delegate Show will see several important presentations made and the winners of the baby, tiny tots and junior miss showgirl competitions sashed.

By this stage the show will be heading into late afternoon, but this is certainly no time to leave the festivities, with celebrations continuing well into the night with a little music and, you guessed it, fireworks.

There will be a barbecue dinner available if you haven’t already filled up on refreshments throughout the day, and what could be better than enjoying an evening of great food, music and fireworks to cap off this year’s big 116th Delegate Show on Saturday, 1 March?
