All articles from our websiteThe digital version of Today's PaperAll other regional websites in your areaContinue This year’s Candelo Show brought together people from right across the
region, from up in the mountains and down to the coast.
A range of events kept the crowds entertained, with dairy and cattle judging, poultry exhibits, sheep shearing, dog jumping and wood chopping all catching the eyes of passers by.
Equestrian events ran continuously throughout the day and the history of the region was also on show, with historic machinery and vehicle club members taking the time to introduce visitors
to the past.
But the heart of the Candelo Show was the Kameruka Pavilion, showcasing the creative and culinary talents of exhibitors and some of the region’s finest produce.
The pavillion is scheduled for an update later this year, with a grant secured through Member for Bega Andrew Constance’s office to update the displays.
The Candelo Craft Group sold their creations outside the pavilion to raise extra money for the upgrade, ensuring that the Candelo Show will continue to be bigger and better in the future.
Mr Constance officially opened the show on Sunday, noting that 2018 was a year of investment in the Candelo region.
Mr Constance has also secured funding for the recently installed shading at the Candelo Showground barbecue area, and another $3.5 million grant to seal West Kameruka Road.
Pavilion steward Susan Stephenson said it had been a very successful year, with increased entries in the food and cake exhibits.
