We met my parents and niece over at the local show today. Despite being hot, we had an enjoyable couple of hours wandering around.
We looked at the handiwork displays first - photography, sculpture and artwork exhibitions - and the produce displays. Sadly, these are much smaller than they used to be when I was a kid.

| This platypus was my favourite sculpture. |
 |
| Talented artists |
 |
| The agricultural display - those are some big pumpkins! |
 |
| Display of old photos from the local area. |
There were the usual rides and food stalls.
 |
| The clowns have a special memory for me - I think it was the only thing we could afford to go on as kids. Now however, it was $5 / game! |
 |
| Greasy show food (with a strangely phallic looking pluto pup). |
 |
| And the ever-popular dodgem cars! |

There were lots of other rides, but I didn't take photos of them.
They also had a free circus - we weren't expecting a lot from it, but it was surprisingly pretty good. It seemed to be a small, family run circus - the young boy in the last 2 photos looked to be about 12. Very impressive!

Looks like a fun day out. We have a wollongong show but I've never been. I've heard of the Ashton circus so they must come down here as well.
That looks like a blast! LOL @ your pluto pup comment ;)
