Tyrendarra shines for its 95th show

13 Feb, 2012 03:00 AM
On ONE day each year Tyrendarra puts on a grand show and on Saturday the tradition continued.

Crowd numbers were on par with previous years at the 95th Tyrendarra show, and organisers said the event continued to be a success.

Tyrendarra show committee secretary Robyn Nunn said the low gate prices and good attractions brought people out.

"If you know Tyrendarra you know we have a recreation reserve, we have a football club, we have a tennis club," she said.

"There are no shops, we don't have a school. We have a church which is still operating.

"Everyone really pulls together for show day.

"This year we had more than 300 entries of art work from schools in the area.

"I think families like to come because they are not always having to spend money.

"It went surprisingly well, we had couple of showers but there was a really good crowd.

"For the show-and-shine one man made the trip from Melbourne. People also come from Ballarat and Mount Gambier."

Ms Nunn said the highlights of the show included circus artist Roy Malloy and the speed shearing competition.

"We really appreciate the support we get, it's really good," Ms Nunn said. "We're already floating ideas for next year's show.

"If you move into the area and your name is on the schedule that's how you know we've welcomed you in."
