The show will kick off this Friday with horse events in the main ring before the rodeo action gets under way in the evening.

Bundarra Show Society vice president and rodeo coordinator Matthew Doak said the rodeo action was always a crowd favourite.

“It’s a big feature of the local show,” he said.

“For the first time in Australia we will host the first round of a four-part series of mini bull riding, with age categories for under 12s and under 14s.

“We have got some of the junior champions from the finals coming to compete.”

There will also be the normal bull riding action, with novice and open categories.

Mr Doak expects the rodeo to draw a crowd of around 300 people.

On Saturday horse events will continue with the sporting, there will be a Quick Shear competition for the first time in five or six years, led cattle classes and a large display of cooking, photography, arts and crafts and horticulture in the pavilions.

The poultry entries at the Bundarra Show are up this year, making it one of the largest poultr displays in the region, Mr Doak said.

Cattle dog trials and a the inaugural Farmer’s Challenge – where farming skills are put to the test – will round out Saturday afternoon before the fireworks.

Mr Doak said as usual Gill Brothers Entertainment would provide a number of fun rides and sideshow fun for the crowd.

The Bundarra Show will wind up on Sunday with a team penning and dressage.
