“This year for the first time we are hosting the Bushman’s Camp campdraft event,” Katie Stinson from the Picton Show Society told The Southern Wire.
“There’s been good word of mouth spread around the community about this year’s show and some are even saying it might be up there with Camden, with people coming from all around the Wollondilly!”
Ms. Stinson also said that pavilion entries were also filling fast.
There will also be a heap of market stalls and other events including lawn mower racing, axe throwing, heritage display, sheep shearing, cow milking, a kid’s petting zoo, reptiles and dinosaurs, the traditional horse show, the famous CWA tea rooms, carnival rides, etc. and even a new event called the ‘booze raffle’, where participants can win cases of drinks in various sizes, from a wheelbarrow-full down to a basket size.
