40th Sheepvention: Ready to Celebrate!
The Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural Society will present the 40 th Sheepvention on August 6 and 7 2018. In addition to celebrating 40 years of the field days The P & A Society will be 160 years old.
President, Mr Will Kinghorn said “40 years of Sheepvention is an amazing achievement. We have lots of events planned to celebrate. The 40 years theme will run throughout the two days. We will be having all our regular activities including The Ram Sale, Sheep Show, Inventions and wool handling competitions as well.” Entries are open and information and forms can be downloaded at www.hamiltonshowgrounds.com.au
A dinner is planned on Saturday, August 4th which will start the festivities. Anticipated to be a sell out, the evening will be held at the Showgrounds and include a three course meal, drinks and entertainment. “We have secured local identity James Freemantle from Red Gum Media as MC for the evening. We hope to welcome back as many people as possible who have been involved in Sheepvention over the last four decades. It’s sure to be a memorable occasion!” said Mr Kinghorn.
Patrons are also asked to stay tuned for a range of exciting events including a concert that will run on from Sheepvention on the Monday. “The idea is visitors to Sheepvention stay on and enjoy a few hours of live music with some pretty special artists. This will also mean that locals who are working Monday can pop up after work so the whole community can be involved. “ said Mr Kinghorn. More details on the line up will be released next month.
Schools will be asked to get involved with an exciting Schools program just released. There will be a range of activities including lego robotics workshops, a photographic competition, an expanded Great Lamb Burger Challenge, bee keeping and horticultural activities. Schools will be receiving information packs very soon.
Sheepvention will be held at the Hamilton Showgrounds on August 6 and 7. Tickets to Sheepvention can be purchased (from May)at www.hamiltonshowgrounds.com.au for $18 or $20 at the gate.
