Running since 1880, this year they will be celebrating the 137th annual Goulburn Show.
The Goulburn AP&H Society has an interesting and varied history, starting with a public meeting held in the Municipal Chambers at 4pm on March 24,1880.
At this meeting, a Mr W. Davies, Esq. moved “that a society be formed under the name of Goulburn Agricultural, Pastoral and Horticultural Society.”
A.F. Gibson seconded the motion.
The first show was held at Dan Thorn’s in 1846 at the Old Brewery while the Argyle Agricultural Society held a ploughing competition in Bradley’s Paddock. The last recorded show of this nature was in 1869.
This year, there will be a range of activities across a spectrum of entertainment, trade and industrial displays, musical entertainment, livestock, horses and equestrian, as well as the ever-present side shows.
Combine this with the breed-dog show, wood-chopping, the animal-farm nursery and the poultry, this will be the best value for money over a weekend.
The Pavilion will overflow with the finest artwork, fruit, needlework, quilting, flowers, vegetables and children’s art that can possibly be amassed at one time.
