It’s showtime…

We’re in the middle of country agricultural show season down here in the Far South East and we’re building to the biggie; the Bega Show – which this year is starring as the backdrop to the upcoming BVRG exhibition The Country Show.

Excitement is gathering apace – more of that soon.

But meanwhile Megsie took these shots of a couple of her fave bits at the recent Candelo Show (well, more particularly for Sammy Jo and Iain.)

[She’s such a tragic for pipes and militalia. n(Ed)]

Back at the BVRG, preparations are well in hand for the upcoming excitements…

Rita’s one of the BVRG’s longstanding volunteer gallery sitters. (What a privilege, that added bonus of watching a live demo at work.)

She’s also one of a selected handful of local artists joining the 21 strong Canberra mob in what promises to be a most entertaining celebration of the long standing country ag tradition.

Hang on to your hats – it opens next week.
