It's on again - Broken Hill's annual show, now in it's 124th year, and it's an event I hear most local children don't want to miss!
I'm pretty sure lots of adults are more than happy to have this annual opportunity to share some fun with their families at this country classic event.

There will be plenty to see and lots to do including a great variety of exciting rides, plenty of food, equestrian events, dog jumping, the popular animal nursery, arts and crafts, fireworks and of course the all important show-bags. Quite simply there'll be events and lots of fun for the whole family, the young and the young at heart, in fact there's probably something for everyone.
There'll be King Neptunes Raceway, The Big Red Bucket and other side show alley favourites. There'll be plenty of rides for the 'little kids' including 'The Tea Cups', 'The Lady Bug' and 'Piggy Train', (and others) and for the 'bigger kids', rides such as 'The Hurricane', 'The Kamikaze', 'Tilt-a-Whirl' and 'The Cha-Cha', to name a just a few.
More details are published in Thursday 12 September's issue of the Barrier Daily Truth.
Horse events will be on from 8am on Saturday (and Sunday according to the paper).
Dog jumping is on Saturday from 11am.
Vintage cars from 8pm Saturday night.
There's also a new pavilion this year, the 'Days Gone By Museum' which sounds fascinating and well worth a look.
This year the theme is "Our Mining History".
Fireworks are on around 9pm on both Friday and Saturday nights, and are meant to be a real highlight.
Dates: Thursday 12th September to Saturday 14th September 2013
Gates open 5pm Thursday 12th September

Oh, and while I'm on the subject of 'shows', the Royal Melbourne Show is also about to begin, and that's on in my hometown. It runs from Saturday 21st September to Wednesday 2nd October. It's a great show, so if you're down south in the so-called 'big-smoke', I can definitely recommend it!
