Plan now for the show

PAKENHAM’S 101st annual show will be held on Saturday 17 March and if you are intending to enter any of the sections the time to start planning is right now.
This applies particularly to the pavilion sections – farm and garden produce, flowers, cooking, home products, photography and artwork.
Pakenham always has a great display in the pavilion, and given good weather conditions over the next two months, this year should be as good or even better than usual.
Young people, in particular, are encouraged to plan now to enter at least one section at the show.
Schedules can be picked up at the Star News office, Pakenham Produce, Lazy Frog or Sewing Connection.
General enquiries should be directed to show secretary Des Wynne on 0417 036 669.
The committee needs more members. If you can help, contact the secretary on the above phone number.
