FOOD and free entertainment will be major features of this year\u2019s Heathcote show.<\/p>\n
Old favourites will return, alongside many new attractions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be lots to eat and lots to do,\u201d said Robyn Donovan, show secretary.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lions Club will be there with their barbeque, and we will have twisting and baked potatoes, Asian food, whipped ice cream, and hot jam donuts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther stalls will feature alpaca crafts, children\u2019s novelty masks, dog products including beef jerky, dreamcatchers with hanging mobiles and key rings, and home-made bath products.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, of course, we can\u2019t forget the show bag stall.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong the free activities for children will be face painting, a wildlife meet and greet, and Professor Wallace\u2019s puppet show featuring traditional and modern puppets and audience interaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cFarmer Darryl will return with his animals and there will be a gardening stall where children can decorate a pot and plant a plant.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the most popular events at the last show in 2019 was the ferret racing and it will return this year, sponsored by Mandalay Mining Resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody loved it,\u201d said Ms Donovan. \u201cThis year children can go to the secretary\u2019s office when they arrive and have their name put on a ferret and watch it race.<\/p>\n
\u201cFood and free entertainment, you can\u2019t go wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Heathcote Show will be held at the showgrounds on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday 7 November, with gates opening at 9am. Entry for adults is $12 and free for under 16s.<\/p>\n
