The Yass Show Society is looking forward to holding the 154th Yass Show this weekend on Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26.
Once again organisers have arranged all the agricultural and horticultural events and competitions visitors expect from a country show.
The popular PBR Bullride will take place on Saturday, so make sure you put the dates in your diary for this fabulous weekend.
The 2017 show will again feature popular events and attractions including the antique farm machinery, shearing competition, yard dogs, wood chopping, vintage and veteran cars, show jumping and all the horse and livestock events you would expect to see at a truly agricultural show.
Entertainment will include the annual PBR Bullride, magicians and baby and small animals. Participants will also be able to bring their furry friends to enter the Pet Competition and see the beautiful dogs of the All Breeds Dog Show.
To help support the longest running event in the Yass Shire, locals and visitors alike can become members of the Yass Show Society. These members are at the heart of a successful Yass Show.
Members can come and go as many times as they wish over the show weekend - there are no pass outs for day ticket holders. Members are also entitled to free parking on the showground (non-members will be charged $5 per vehicle).
By ticking the ‘volunteer’ box on the membership form, members can get a behind the scenes experience of how a country show is managed, meet some of the show supporters who have given thousands of hours of their time to the Yass Show, and also have plenty of time to enjoy the weekend.
The Yass Show Society Inc is an incorporated association run by volunteers.
Unlike many country showgrounds, the society owns the Yass Showground and its volunteers carry out all the maintenance on the grounds.
The Committee of the Yass Show Society is comprised of up to 50 people, primarily chief stewards and others directly involved in the running of the annual Yass Show.
The executive committee is an additional 10 people, including the president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, senior vice president and five vice presidents.
