Hold onto your hats, it's almost time for fashion and fun on the fields at the annual Binda Picnic Races. Excitement for the event runs high every year and this year looks to be no different, with plenty of entertainment in store on and off the race track. There is $10,000 up for grabs in the Funny Hill Picnic Cup (1400 metres), one of six races to catch on the day. Official 'fashion spotters' will search the field for Best Dressed Lady, Lass and Couple, so be sure to frock up! The event is BYO. Crookwell Public School will have a barbecue and salad rolls.

Since its first formal meeting in 1880 to now, the show has been progressive with its main aim of getting back to basics by providing a low cost family fun weekend and something for everyone. A courtesy bus will run to and from the Goulburn Show each day from Goulburn Workers Club (McKell Place carpark).
