The grade six Grasmere Primary School pupil was selected as the winner of a competition to create a picture for the front of the show schedule.
For her efforts, Marlee has won a three-day family pass to the show, as well as some ride tickets and a ribbon.
Marlee said she spent two lessons at Lobly Arts’ after school art program creating the drawing of a vegie garden to capture the show’s theme of “homegrown and homemade”.
“I’ve never been to the show – I’m looking forward to it,” she said.
Warrnambool Agricultural Society manager Charles Hoddinott said the competition had been a good way to create interest in the upcoming show and get children from schools across the region involved.
The 163rd annual Warrnambool Show is on from October 28-30.
