A great day it was with locals and visitors enjoying the sunshine, St Rapheals school ran the canteen with the smell of the BBQ wafting across the showground. The children were well catered for with free rock climbing wall, jumping castle, plaster painting, sand pit, big games, tug-of-war, running races and novelty races.
The dog high jump drew a crowd, thanks to Cowra Veterinary Centre for running this event.
