Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au Established in 1887, the Dungog Agricultural & Horticultural Association was originally called the Williams River Agricultural & Horticultural Association. The Show, run by the Association, has been a constant on the regional calendar ever since. The only times in history that the ‘Show didn’t go on’ were during the war years, when six shows could not be held, and two years during the Covid-19 pandemic. Held the second Friday and Saturday of November every year, the Show celebrates and promotes local produce, talent and agriculture from the Dungog district. Included on this year’s Show program is art, beef cattle, camel races, camp draft and horse events, dog high jump shows, a ladies pavilion, photography, poultry, woodchopping, the Young Woman Competition and more. Live music, fireworks, motocross stunts, show jumping and trick-riding cowgirls will add to the excitement. “The Dungog A&H Association is excited to welcome you back for another amazing Dungog Show for 2024,” said Association President Jeanie Briggs-Seers. “We are a proud committee who strive to involve our whole town and offer our community a fun-filled weekend whilst showcasing our local strengths and talents across all areas of agriculture. “We aim to maintain our long-held traditions while also incorporating new ideas to move forward. “I hope you all have an amazing time at the Dungog Show in 2024.”
