Huon Show Committee was delighted with the crowd attendance at the 63rd Huon Show. Uncertain weather forecast, including showers, brought Show patrons out early to the Show. This was evident by the number of cars in the car park early in the day. Despite weather in Hobart being overcast and cool, the Showground enjoyed warm sunshine.. A feature of the Show was the amount of agricultural machinery present. Agricultural Firms are to be commended on supporting the Huon Show. The Grand Parade was a spectacle. Cattle section numbers were down slightly but numbers were made up with a large number of Alpacas, Commercial Cattle and sheep being entered.. A new arena layout and the introduction of additional classes worked well with showjumping and saddle classes well supported. Over 105 horses entered for the Show. The location adjacent to the Arena that was used in 2008 proved popular and the new layout of the arena will continue. The new layout resulted in more entertainment being placed on the arena. A feature on the arena being the Light Horse demonstrations and heavy horse demonstrations. Marion Woodward Secretary MAJOR RESULTS: Champion EFA Hack: Strapping – N. Dare Reserve Ch.

Large number of Junior and Novice exhibitors which was pleasing to see. Judged by David Brown, his comments were well received. He spent a lot of time talking to junior and first time exhibitors explaining the finer points of poultry. A large number of people passed through the pavilion. Corinna Sloane is to be congratulated for the help she provided in setting up the pavilion before the Show by repairing pens etc. There was a good variety of both large and small fowls and bantams on Show – the best show for a number of years.
